"It will be enough," she consequently shouted with alacrity, "if you give me that small one." "There's no one," lady Feng laughingly insinuated, "with the capacity to tackle these!
About four o'clock she found leisure to stroll along the shore with Tommy, whose competitive energies as a fisherman had been stimulated by the advent of strange craftsmen with scientific-looking tackle. Tommy must forthwith show what native skill could do with a willow pole and grasshoppers for bait.
"I'm ahead a whole week both articles and reviews. I can tackle both." The editor put his finger tips together. "Have you got some idea about this, young man?" he asked. "I've got a great idea," answered Spargo. He faced the great man squarely, and stared at him until he had brought a smile to the editorial face. "That's why I want to do it," he added.
The boy continued in a slow, thoughtful tone, 'I saw some one to-day that I feel might be an enemy, but she's a girl; men don't fight with women. 'I'd rather tackle a man than a woman any day. They be a powerful enemy sometimes, lad! And what have this young maid done to you?
I shall raise it above my head. I shall crash it against the stone steps. It will hurl them and all of these people into eternity and me with them. But I shall LIVE a martyr to the Cause.

All at once, just as Philip had hooked a perch and was drawing it to shore, there was a mighty rush through the water, and something seized the fish and began sailing with it backwards and forwards, bending Philip's light rod nearly double, for he had no running tackle, and only a thin line.

He asked the boys as soon as they entered if they had made up their minds to tackle the trip, and they both told him they had.
