"Surely you're not down here to work on Sunday?" and he glanced at the actors. She laughed. "Oh, no, Mr. Tapp. I do not work on Sundays. Uncle Amazon would not even let me wash the dishes." "I should think not," murmured Lawford with an appreciative glance at her ungloved hands. "He's a pretty decent old fellow, I guess. Will you come aboard? She's perfectly safe, Miss Grayling."
Grayling will take most small trout-flies, but there are many patterns of fly tied specially for them, most of them founded on the red tag or the green insect. Worms and maggots are also largely used in some waters for grayling, and there is a curious contrivance known as the "grasshopper," which is a sort of compromise between the fly and bait.
'I believe you did say something of the kind, it's very good of you to remember. Have you forgotten something else which you said to me last night? 'You can hardly expect me to keep fresh in my memory all the follies of which my tongue is guilty. 'Thank you. That is quite enough. Good-day. She turned as if to go. 'Miss Grayling! 'Mr Atherton? 'What's the matter? What have I been saying now?
It has two clear brooks which, owing to the comparative inaccessibility of the place, still contain trout and grayling, though there are few spots where a fly can be cast on account of the dense underbrush. The woods contain partridge, or ruffed grouse, and other game in smaller quantities. I believe my client entertained some notion of establishing a preserve here.
But it was Lawford who brought in Professor Grayling. Louise had watched with the Taffy King all through the battle of the lifeboat with the sea, suffering pangs of terror for Lawford's safety, yet feeling, too, unbounded pride in his achievement. Now she pressed down to meet him at the edge of the sea and found that the drenched, dazed man Lawford bore up in his arms was her own father!
The light tap of the girl's heels as she stepped on the bare floor at the foot of the stairway aroused this person, who turned, revealing a rather grim, weather-beaten face, lit by little sharp brown eyes that proceeded to stare at Louise Grayling with frank curiosity. "Humph!" ejaculated the woman.
It is an imperial playground, and such as I would consent to hunt the chamois in, if an inscrutable Providence had made me a kingly kaiser, or even a plain king or an unvarnished kaiser. But, failing this, I was perfectly content to spend a few idle days in fishing for trout and catching grayling, at such times and places as the law of the Austrian Empire allowed.
Professor Grayling was a better man on a long hike and possessed more reserve strength than many more beefy athletes. His daughter had inherited his springy carriage and even the clean pinkness of his complexion always looking as though she were fresh from her shower.
Our driver called it the Stillwater. That struck me as strange, for the stream was in a great hurry. R.C. spied trout in it, and schools of darkish, mullet-like fish which we were informed were grayling. We wished for our tackle then and for time to fish. Teague's man, a young fellow called Virgil, met us here.
Your detection of me would be so painfully rapid. I was in no mood for jangling. I turned a little away from her. Immediately she was at my elbow. 'Mr Atherton? 'Miss Grayling. 'Are you cross with me? 'Why should I be? If it pleases you to laugh at my stupidity you are completely justified. 'But you are not stupid. 'No? Nor you satirical.
