So the next day he took a stool outside the King's window and commenced fishing with a fishing-rod in the road. The King looking out of his window saw this and began to laugh and called out to the man, "You won't find many fish on a dry road," to which the peasant answered, "As many as foals that come from a horse."
"That we will," answered the soldiers. "That you will not," retorted the youth. "I have other business than to play fisherman for your benefit." The soldiers insisted, and attempted to take the basket. The angler came to the aid of his attendant. Words were followed by blows. The soldiers laid hands on their weapons. The youth had no weapon but his fishing-rod.
This was in his coaxing voice; but it was not a moment when she could bear to be turned aside, like an importunate child, and she was going to speak; but he saw the wrong fishing-rod carried out, called hastily to James, ran down-stairs, and was gone, without even looking back at her.
It tells you who has dogs for sale, and rabbits for sale, and magic-lanterns for sale, and cameras for sale, and bicycles for sale, and guinea-pigs for sale, all at a bargain, and it tells you also who wants to buy rabbits and cameras and guinea-pigs; and it also tells you who wants to exchange rabbits for a gun, or a dog for a fishing-rod, or a gramophone for a parrot.
Now we will just spend about an hour over those specimens, and then, as it is so beautiful and fine, we will be off on to the moor again. You will take your fishing-rod, of course?" "Oh yes, uncle." "Then turn up the bottoms of those trousers before we start." "No, uncle; I shall put my leggings on over these," said Rodd coolly, "and I should advise you to do the same."
"Half the town," according to Dan'l, consisted of Bob Dimsted, who had laid down his rough fishing-rod, and was holding half an apple in one hand, munching away the while, as he caught another deftly; and he was in the act of stuffing it into his pocket as he caught sight of the doctor, and stood for a few moments perfectly motionless. Then, stooping quickly, he gathered up his tackle and ran.
Dan experienced that strange feeling of uneasiness familiar to every schoolboy when called upon unexpectedly for the private interview with the teacher. The Elders had never visited him before. It was too evident that they had come now upon matters of painful importance. At last Judge Strong's wandering eye came to rest upon Dan's favorite fishing-rod, that stood in a corner behind a book-case.
By a most curious coincidence, Mr Cripps had only the other day been asked by a particular friend of his, who was removing from the country to London "where," said Mr Cripps, "there ain't over much use for a rod," if he knew of any one in want of a really good fishing-rod.
"Fanny can carry it down to the boat, and Sandy and I will bring it back slung on a thick stick when it's full of fish." The laird laughed heartily. "You must not blame your fishing-rod if you are not successful, for you will catch quite as many with it, as you would were I to lend you one of mine," he observed.
So far as he could make out, she wasn't doing anything; a long fishing-rod, with the butt on the ground, she held idly in her right hand; while with her left hand she occasionally shaded her face across towards the west probably, as he imagined, she was waiting for some of those smooth-sailing clouds to come and obscure the too-fierce light of the sun.
