"I never professed to be more than a minnow among Tritons, and quite a lean minnow at that." "You're not, Nick!" declared his champion impetuously. "You're a giant!" "In miniature," suggested Max. "He is actually proposing to go and kick Major Hunt-Goring because " He broke off short.
"Sir Edward, if I spoke of the court of the twelve Kaisers, I would say it is as confused for the present as the infernal regions. Courtiers of forty years' standing, and such I may write myself, are as far to seek in the matter as a minnow in the Maelstrom.
Not a single nibble came to nourish hope in their hearts. All eyes were intent on the sluggish waters that earnestly pretended they had never harboured a single minnow when a loud rough shout made them start. "Hi!" said the shout, in most disagreeable tones, "get out of that, can't you?" An old white horse coming along the towing-path was within half a dozen yards of them.
Notwithstanding his waxenlike pallor, his slim figure and lithe, athletic walk seemed to speak of good health. "You may catch the minnow," he murmured. "The big fish swim on. By-the-bye," he added, "I do not notice that your sledge-hammer blows at crime are having much effect. Two undetected murders last week, and one the week before. What are you about, my astute friend?"
Winthrop to a few false notes now and then. The composer has more power to give me pain than the performers, I believe." "I should say, then, that your comprehension of music was more subtle than his." "I do not pretend to compare myself with Mr. Winthrop in any way. It would be like the minnow claiming fellowship with the leviathan." Mr. Winthrop suggested very politely:
And it was not late but a little past two o'clock. So I rigged the rod again and led the way down the shore to the spot where the sedge extended out into the pond, with the lily pads beyond it. She walked beside me. Then she seated herself on a fallen tree and I baited the hook with a lively minnow and cast. For some time I got not even a nibble. As I waited she and I talked.
Captain Cy scratched his chin. Asaph, gazing open-mouthed at the trumpet, stirred in his chair. Mrs. Beasley swooped down upon him like a gull on a minnow. "And you!" she shrieked. "You! a miserable little, good-for-nothin', lazy, ridiculous, dried-up . . . Oo oo OH! You call yourself a town clerk! YOU do! I I wouldn't have you clerk for a hen house!
"What's that you've got there with you, Jerry?" asked Bluff, who had been fixing a phantom minnow on a troll, in the expectation of picking up a fish or two while they rowed. "Oh! a little cold snack in the shape of grub," explained the other, who on all occasions possessed a voracious appetite.
If they won't, nobody can catch them; if they will, nobody can miss them. It is as simple as trolling a minnow from a boat in Loch Leven, probably the lowest possible form of angling. My ambition is as great as my skill is feeble; to capture big trout with the dry fly in the Test, that would content me, and nothing under that. But I can't see the natural fly on the water; I cannot see my own fly,
Men got into the way of fishing these pools after a flood with minnow, and thereby made huge baskets, the big fish running up to feed, out of the loch. But, when last I rowed past Meggat foot, the delta of that historic stream was simply crowded with anglers, stepping in in front of each other.
