THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 79 



cup to all the otter-hunters that are to meet you 

 to-morrow. 



Ven. That we will, sir, and to all the lovers of 

 angling too, of which number I am now willing to be 

 one myself ; for by the help of your good discourse 

 and company, I have put on new thoughts both of 

 the art of angling and of all that profess it ; and 

 if you will but meet me to-morrow at the time and 

 place appointed, and bestow one day with me and 

 my friends in hunting the otter, I will dedicate the 

 next two days to wait upon you ; and we two will 

 for that time do nothing but angle, and talk of fish 

 and fishing. 



Pise. It is a match, sir ; I will not fail you, God 

 willing, to be at Amwell Hill to-morrow morning 

 before sunrising.
