Snowball continued to "troll" his line in the most approved fashion; and was soon again joined by his brother "piscator," who, after settling the scores with the second fish he had caught, had adjusted a fresh bait, and once more flung his line into the water.
It tastes of simple, homely, appetizing things like the "syllabub of new verjuice in a new-made haycock" which the milkwoman promised to give Piscator the next time he came that way. Its music plays the tune of A CONTENTED HEART over and over again without dulness, and charms us into harmony with
"Helga," said the Pastor, "why do you not speak?" "Because, father," said Helga, "Herr Hardy is so good I do not know what to say. He is better than other men." When Hardy said "Good night" to her, before he went to his room, she said, "Good night, sir!" in English, but would not take the hand Hardy held out to her. "Piscator.
Towards evening the trout began to show themselves, and the young Piscator caused some havoc among them. He caught about a dozen, the heaviest of which might have well nigh passed muster either at Troutenau or Eisenhammer. We had been interrupted in our sport by a thunder-storm; the reverberations of which, as peal after peal smote against rock and fell, were very fine.
More than that, though Piscator is absent, some one is inspecting his boats. In fact, and it is simple fact, and I am not smuggling in a bit of padding in the shape of sentiment, two persons become perceptible, both with their backs towards us, now and studiedly all the time.
In the meanwhile he was giving instructions to his two disciples, showing them the manner in which they should handle their rods, fix their flies, and play them along the surface of the stream. The scene brought to my mind the instructions of the sage Piscator to his scholar. The country around was of that pastoral kind which Walton is fond of describing.
"That may be," said the Pastor; "but I think you should clearly understand that you are not likely to catch any trout." "That," said Hardy, "we must leave to the trout to decide." "Piscator. Good morrow, sir! What, up and dressed so early! "Viator. Yes, sir.
Nevertheless, Joe entertained no fears about the result; and the fish, as if apprized of the impossibility of capturing the rod, ran along parallel with the shore, gradually approaching the brink of the water, and seemingly with the intention to surrender himself at the feet of the piscator. But this was not his purpose. "Pull him back, Joe!" said Glenn.
The silver-haired, grim man, with his mysterious reputation for money, and that short decisive way of his, and sudden cynical chuckle, inspired a sort of awe, which made his wishes, where expressed with that intent, very generally obeyed; and, sure enough, Irons appeared, with his rod, at the appointed hour, and the interesting anglers Piscator and his 'honest scholar, as Isaac Walton hath it set out side by side on their ramble, in the true fraternity of the gentle craft.
For I would not have thee lost, because thou art a kindly man and a simple. Yet for Ignorance there is an ill way, even from the very gates of the City. Thy fellow-traveller, From Piscator to Christian. Sir, I do indeed remember thee; and I trust thou art amended of these gripings which caused thee to groan and moan, even by the pleasant streams from the hills of the Delectable Mountains.
