John Ridd, I was at school with you, and you beat me very lamentably, when I tried to fight with you. You remember me not? It is likely enough: I am forced to take strong waters, John, from infirmity of the liver. Attend to my directions; and I will call again in the morning." And in that melancholy plight, caring nothing for business, went one of the cleverest fellows ever known at Tiverton.
'I have given thee thy choice, John Ridd, he said in a lofty manner, which made me drop away under him; 'I always wish to do my best with the worst people who come near me. And of all I have ever met with thou art the very worst, Sir John, and the most dishonest. And the scornful way in which he said 'Sir John, went to my very heart, reminding me of my littleness.
Oh, Lorna, if you can think that so quickly as you seem to have done, now you have every prospect and strong temptation to it.

"And I think I shall cast you as Lorna." "Oh, how nice!" she laughed. "But who will be John Ridd? We need a great big man for him!" "Well, I was thinking of using Mr. Macksey," went on the manager, with a look at the hunter. "What? Me have my photograph took in moving pictures!" cried the keeper of the Lodge.

Being compelled in this way, I read pretty nigh as follows; not that I give the whole of it, but only the gist and the emphasis, "To our good subject, John Ridd, etc." describing me ever so much better than I knew myself "by these presents, greeting.
But now her judgment leaped with me, because I had behaved so well; and being of quick urgent nature such as I delight in, for the change from mine own slowness she, without any let or hindrance, sitting over against me, now raising and now dropping fringe over those sweet eyes that were the road-lights of her tongue, Lorna told me all about everything I wished to know, every little thing she knew, except indeed that point of points, how Master Ridd stood with her.
Perhaps she thought that it must be Sally; or perhaps she feared to trust her voice. 'Come and sit by me, dear Ruth; and listen to a long, long story, how things have come about with me. 'No, thank you, Cousin Ridd, she answered; 'at least I mean that I shall be happy that I shall be ready to hear you to listen to you, I mean of course.
Since the above was written I have seen Ramsbottom, who tells me that the stream in the Tay, where he caught the whole of the fish from which he obtained 300,000 to 400,000 ova, was on one side of it one continuous ridd, and that the fish could not avoid ploughing up the gravel which previous fish had spawned in, and at Oughterard, where 300 pairs of fish spawned in the same number of yards, it was the same; and they found thousands of ova buried so deep that they were rotting in great quantities.
