No, the rain wouldn't have spoiled it anyhow, Alice; anglers LIKEe rain. The 'Rose and Crown' dinner was half of it wasted because the anglers were so furious that a lot of them took the next train to town. And this is the worst of all a barge, that was on the mud in the pen below, was lifted and jammed across the river and the water tilted her over, and her cargo is on the river bottom.
With that first experience began a life which I am fain to regard as one glorious song in praise of the beauty and the beneficence of nature. My bookseller once took me angling with him in a Wisconsin lake which was the property of a club of anglers to which my friend belonged.
And this was the first pool below the bread-walk deep enough to drown a five-foot baker boy. Sad it was; but such things must be, and bread must still be delivered daily. Anglers are notoriously truthful, especially as to what they catch, or even more frequently have not caught.
The silver-haired, grim man, with his mysterious reputation for money, and that short decisive way of his, and sudden cynical chuckle, inspired a sort of awe, which made his wishes, where expressed with that intent, very generally obeyed; and, sure enough, Irons appeared, with his rod, at the appointed hour, and the interesting anglers Piscator and his 'honest scholar, as Isaac Walton hath it set out side by side on their ramble, in the true fraternity of the gentle craft.

"We had a lovely day, and caught ever so many fish didn't get home till ever so late. The only bad part was finding you away when we got back."
