gudgeon, though in angling regularity, I ought 

 to have concluded with the salmon. But a moral 

 may be drawn from my proceeding. What man 

 begins with he ends with childishness. The 

 childish passion of gudgeon-angling may return 

 to the true angler when he has ' fallen into the 

 lean and slippered pantaloon,' and it will do so, 

 if it be true that ' the ruling passion is strong in 

 death.'
