There's no point in dragging a lot of trunks and fishing-rods down to the hotel when you'll simply have to drag them all back again.
"So, sir," said Edmund, turning to the rebel captain, "you attach great importance to the struggles of a boy of thirteen!" "A blow with the butt-end of a fishing-rod is no joke from boy or man," answered the officer. "When last I served in England," continued the cavalier, "Cromwell's Ironsides did not take notice of children with fishing-rods.
Over the chimney-piece were ranged fencing-foils, boxing-gloves, and staffs for the athletic exercise of single-stick; cricket-bats and fishing-rods filled up the angles. There were sundry prints on the walls: one of Mr.
