When matters came to this point, the gipsies, without scruple, entered upon measures of retaliation. Ellangowan's hen-roosts were plundered, his linen stolen from the lines or bleaching-ground, his fishings poached, his dogs kidnapped, his growing trees cut or barked. Much petty mischief was done, and some evidently for the mischief's sake.
Ness had caught a rheumatic fever with his Easter fishings, and been unable to be moved home from the little Welsh inn where he had been staying when he was taken ill.

During the ten days of their stay, there was no end to the banquetings, huntings, fishings, and revellings of all kinds, to do honour to their presence. The young lord has quite recovered from his long and strange illness. But the young bride complains a little.
But to my surprise, he seemed well-pleased; and his harsh short laughter came to me without echo, "Ha, ha! Charlie boy! Fisherman Charlie, have I caught thee setting bait for Lorna?
