168 ANGLING REMINISCENCES. 



Leister. By no means as I expected. I have about 

 nine pounds weight of fish slung over my left shoulder, 

 and these earned by sheer dint of perseverance, with- 

 out help of breeze or cloud. Is it by otter-craft you 

 procured such a burden, Doctor ? Uncover, I prithee, 

 and give me the benefit of an in-peep. 



Swivel. Immediately, Jack ; but first let us on a 

 space, and baffle the eyes of these three knaves who 

 have just quitted us. 'Tis want of policy to allow 



them knowledge of our good fortune. 



Exeunt.
