"Well, wouldn't this skin you," said the bad boy, as he took up a dried prune and tried to crack it with a hatchet on a two-pound weight, turning to his chum who was stroking the singed hair of the old cat the wrong way. "Say, old man, you ought to get a hustle on you.
If the little man has progressed in his fishing as he ought, he should be now one of the finest anglers in England. So. Thanks to bank fishing, we have, you see, landed three or four more good fish in the last two hours And! What is here? An ugly two-pound chub, Chevin, 'Echevin, or Alderman, as the French call him.

Shortly thereafter, Sid appeared with a tissue-wrapped bouquet of roses in his hand. "For Louise," he told Mrs. Martin.
Truth to say, if he was now more reserved, there was a very good reason for it, for he played such havoc amongst the eatables that there was little time for talk.
