THEOrHILUS DISCUSSETH MANY WAYS OF COLOURING, AND .MAKING LINKS 

 WITH OTHER KNOTTY POINTS. 



SCENE. Llanrwst. TIME. Evening. 

 Personages. THEOPHILUS AND HERBERT. 



Theoph. Now, Herbert, let us draw in our 

 chairs, and think of to-morrow's work. What 

 shall we do ? for, as we crossed Llanrwst Bridge, 

 you remarked the low and bright state of the 

 river. In its streams we have very little chance 

 for salmon ; though, " should a storm arise and 

 awake the Deeps' if we were favoured by a 

 good stiff breeze, " a southerly wind and a cloudy 

 sky," we might meet with success on some of 

 them. I should advise resorting to one of the 

 neighbouring lakes for trout, were it not that 

 there also we require a heavy wind. 



Herb. I am your pupil ; do with me as you 

 list. Hill or dale, lake or river, are all alike to 

 me, provided you be with me.
