I flattered myself that I was able to assume a certain roughness and solidity of the peasantry in "The Good Hope," but although I stumbled about heavily in large sabots, I was told by the critics that I walked like a fairy and was far too graceful for a Dutch fisherwoman! Is it possible that I convey that impression when I try to assume the character of a washerwoman or a fisherwoman?
"I'll have all you catch, Daisy, for my own eating!" He bent his head down as he spoke, to kiss the little fisherwoman; but Daisy, answering some unusual tenderness of face or manner, sprung up and threw her arms round his neck, and only released him after a very close pressure.

"But we did it, father," said Esperance, "and I hope that Count Styvens will have some magnificent luck. We go fishing this evening." "So, you are a fisherwoman too, Mademoiselle?" "We fish every morning, and we shall be very glad to have you join us," said the girl quietly.
At that moment a very big fish jumped about in the bottom of the basket. "Is it a he or a she?" inquired the Queen. "I wish to purchase a she-fish." On hearing this the fish laughed aloud. "It's a he," replied the fisherwoman, and proceeded on her rounds. The Queen returned to her room in a great rage; and on coming to see her in the evening, the King noticed that something had disturbed her.
At one place there was a file of fishermen, including a fisherwoman, drawing their net by means of a rope carried across the carriage-way from the seawall, with a splendid show of their black eyes and white teeth and swarthy, bare legs, and always there were beggars, both of those who frankly begged and those who importuned with postal-cards.
