The sunfish and bream floated with quivering fins or darted among the rippling shadows on that autumn morning as we see them doing now. The mocking-bird sang among the overhanging branches the same varied song which gladdens our ears, and the wild deer then, as now, lay peacefully in the shady coverts of the neighboring woods.
"You're liable to be busy, all right," Jerry interpolated grimly. "Well, they won't bother you. Ed, you better get the horses. Take Sunfish, here, and graze him somewhere outa sight. We'll keep going, and we might have to start suddenly." "How about Sis? I thought " "I'm going to turn Little Lost upside down to find her, if she's here. If she isn't, I'm kinda hoping she went down to mother.
They were just on their way to hunt us up. Girls, this is our Sahwah, once named Sarah Ann Brewster, but now only Sahwah the Sunfish." Sahwah came forward, radiating smiles, to meet the twins about whom she had heard so much, and grasped their hands with delighted cordiality. "Agony and Oh-Pshaw!" she exclaimed. "What delicious names!"
They came into the road not far behind him, out of rock-strewn, brushy wilderness that sloped up steeply to the rugged sides of Gold Gap mountains. Sunfish discovered them first, and gave Bud warning just before they identified him and began to shoot. Bud laid himself along the shoulder of his horse with a handful of mane to steady him while he watched his chance and fired back at them.
STRAW BAIL. "Worthless bail, bail given by 'men of straw." This is surely no Americanism, and we have seen its origin very differently explained, namely, that men willing for a fee to become bail walked in the neighborhood of the courts with straws stuck in their shoes, though Mr. Bartlett's explanation is ingenious. SUNFISH. Mr.
And I'm game for the other half " He stopped abruptly, cast one look at Sunfish and another at Boise, stepping about uneasily, his shiny coat rippling, beautiful. He turned and combed Sunfish's scanty mane with his gloved fingers. Those nearest saw that his lips were trembling a little and mistook his hidden emotion for anger. "You got him going," a man whispered in Jeff's ear.
But instead of unsaddling, as he would naturally have done, he tied Sunfish to the bed-wagon and threw his slicker over his back to protect him from the rain. And though Park said nothing, he followed Thurston's example. For a long time Thurston lay with wide-open eyes staring up at nothing, listening to the rain and thinking.
"If they hit us, give Sunfish his head, he's been there before and keep on the outside!" Thurston yelled "All right!" but the pounding roar of the stampede drowned his voice.
He was so surprised at getting a hard bite on his line, that he jerked it up quickly. Something flashed in the sunlight, and, the next moment, a little sunfish landed flapping on the deck, right in front of the sleeping black cat Snoop. "Flop!" went the fish, and Snoop awakened with a jump. Up to her feet she leaped like a flash, and then she saw the fish.
Before the sun went down, the children had each caught two fish. There were three sunfish, two perch, and the wriggly eel. The Toyman cleaned them all. And Mother fried them with butter and flour in a pan. It was a good supper they had that night, for they had caught it themselves.
