Malheur aux hommes!" "There's one now," said Duane, laughing as Delancy Grandcourt's bulk appeared among the trees along Hurryon Water. "Lord! what a bungler he is on a trout-stream!" Rosalie turned and gazed at the big, clumsy young man who was fishing with earnestness and method every unlikely pool in sight. "Does he belong to anybody?" she asked, considering him. "I want to do real damage.
On our right was a fine trout-stream of that delicious brown tint welcome to the eye of the fisherman. At times the water was seen breaking over a rocky bed with much foam and fret, and then would find for itself a tranquil pool beneath the shadow of some mighty beech-tree. The foliage of the forest, which closed down upon the valley, was simply magnificent.
I don't care a rush about the trout-stream, but there is no doubt of my right to fish in it. He was an ass to raise the question; for, if he had not, I should not have exercised the right. As he did raise the question, I was obliged to catch his trout." "And you wrote a letter to him?" "Yes." "How did you write, Papa? What did you say?" "Something like this.
Fine suite of reception-rooms, ballroom. Lovely garden, with trout-stream intersecting' heavenly. 'There are vineries, peach-houses, greenhouses, and pits' what do you do with pits?" "Keep bears in them, of course," said Jock, and added vaguely "bear baiting, you know." "It isn't usual to keep bears," David pointed out.
But at last, looking up and down the country, his angling eye caught sight of a trout-stream, and, as if he had in a moment forgotten all about his book at home and all that this saintly man had contributed to it, Guthrie asked him if he had a fishing-rod, and if he would give him a loan of it.
The mountain on which we were encamped forms part of the western side of a long valley, at the bottom of which, quite 2000 feet below us, is a magnificent trout-stream. The sides of this valley are clothed with dense forests, with broken cliffs obtruding in places.
The fire slowly faded from his gaze, and in its place, by memory's alchemy, came the vision of her face a changing vision, one moment mocking as when he first met her, turning to a look of pain as when she spoke of Dick, and then resolving into the wistful tenderness that had crept into her eyes that evening by the trout-stream a tenderness that vanished before the expression of scorn she had shown that fateful August night.
The chief vice of the Academy," he continued, "is its nomenclature. Why, for instance, should an obvious trout-stream with a palpable rabbit sitting in the foreground be called 'an evening dream of unbeclouded peace, or something of that sort?" "You think," said the Other, "that a name should economise description rather than stimulate imagination?" "Properly chosen, it should do both.
Coryston duly arrived, a more disreputable figure than usual bedraggled with rain, his shabby trousers tucked into his boots, and his cap festooned with fishing-flies; for the afternoon had turned showery, and Coryston had been pursuing the only sport which appealed to him in the trout-stream of the park. Before he did so he had formally asked leave of the agent, and had been formally granted it.
It must be a great saving of trouble to them, and undoubtedly those who have discovered it maintain toward the unenlightened the same delighted and fraternal secrecy with which you and I guard the knowledge of a good trout-stream. When you can migrate adequately in a single day, why spend a month at it? Also do I remember certain spruce woods with openings where the sun shone through.
