I always took her out in the woods with me, gunning and trouting. I taught her how to skate when she was a mere baby. I often said she was all the brother I had in the world! She can remember now how I used to wrap her in shawls, and prop her up on the woodpile, while I chopped wood."
"'I'll come for you in the morning, I said to Madge, who had thrown off her hat, looking so resolute and absorbed in her purpose that I knew there was nothing more to be said. So I shook hands with the poor people, and came away with the doctor." "I'm going for Madge in the morning," said Graydon, decisively. "I thought you were going trouting with the doctor."
"And I'm going trouting," Graydon replied. "When?" "Soon." "Only for a day, I suppose." "It depends on my luck. You will get on better when I'm away." "It's cruel for you to speak like that," she replied, her eyes moistening. "I suppose it is," was his rueful reply; "but I can be more patient, I imagine, back in the mountains than here." "But how about poor me?"
Thus indirectly I might have caused Henry's failure a blow from which I should never have recovered. Henry is safe now, he assures me; and, oh, Madge, thank God, I have found her out before it was too late! I had fully resolved while oft trouting that I would break with her finally if I found Arnault at her side again. Now he may marry her, for all I care, and I wish him no worse punishment.
"It was the best trouting stream," said the beadle, whom the patience of Jeanie, and especially the assurance that she was not about to become a burden to the parish, had rendered rather communicative, "the best trouting stream in all Lincolnshire; for when you got lower, there was nought to be done wi' fly-fishing."
"I don't want to be happy. What's that got to do with the thing? If you tell me that there's fifty sovereigns buried at the bottom of Lyne Hill there, I'll go and try to dig the hill away and get at them, because the trouble's worth taking; but I don't see the fun of seeking for what you call happiness." "Well, then, Thomas, how much do you expect to make by trouting to-night?"
To the open kitchen door comes the busy housewife to shake a white something, and stands a moment to look, quite transfixed by the delightful sights and sounds. Hoeing in the garden on a bright, soft May day, when you are not obliged to, is nearly equal to the delight of going trouting. Blessed be agriculture! if one does not have too much of it.
Although they turned out in the morning with red, swollen faces and half closed eyes, they all went trouting and caught about 150 small trout between them.
Muir and Graydon breakfasted long after, and the latter observed with a frown that Arnault was still at the Wildmere table, with all the serenity of one en famille. "Doctor," he said, a little later, "how much will you take the money to be given to your chapel to go trouting with me for a day?" "A good round sum," Dr. Sommers replied. "All right. When can you go?"
It was the forenoon of a hazy, breathless day, and Dan Phillips was trouting up one of the back creeks of the Carleton pond.
