"Hold your tongue, stupid!" cried Dick indignantly, taking the part of his father's guest. "You don't know everything. What's a dumpy leveller? There, you don't know, and Mr Marston does." "But what is a stong-gad?" said Marston. "Eel-spear," said Dick. "How long would it take Hicky to mend it?" "'Bout two hours mebbe only one. I could mak' a new pole while he forged the tine." "Come along, then.
They don't mind you fishing or going after the eels with the stong-gad; but they don't like the draining, and you see if it don't come to harm!" "Nonsense!" cried Dick. "But I say, Hicky, you are so quiet about it all, did you see who it was shot at you?"
