I don't want those boys thinking about the fishing they're going to do tomorrow and then get behind in their work because they're daydreaming." The other men were already gone; they'd headed back to the village as fast as they could move as soon as he'd told them the job was finished.
While I was dressing, it occurred to me that I would go over to Leighton Park with my rod, to try the ponds, hoping to return with a basket of fish. I might go there and get an hour's fishing, and be back again before breakfast. I tried to persuade Ned to accompany me, but he preferred to stick to his books.

Aside from hunting and fishing, there is no source of food except the soil, and, when this is insufficient for the people who produce it in the country, God pity the poor people who live in the cities.

There is tennis and golf and fishing; but perhaps you don't like these things? We are not very well off for neighbours, but we are large enough in number to be sufficient to ourselves.

"I'm going to get you up at daylight, Josh." "Me? What for? Do we have to start in fishing that early, or else go hungry?" "I want you to go along with me, that's all, Josh."
