CHAP. VII. THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 



I beseech you, freely tell me so, and I will defer the 

 remaining instructions for fly-angling till some other 

 time. 



Viat. No, truly, Sir: I can never be weary of 

 hearing you. But if you think fit because, I am 

 afraid, I am too troublesome to refresh yourself 

 with a glass and a pipe, you may afterwards proceed ;

Pise. I thank you, Sir, for that motion ; for, be- 

 lieve me, I am dry with talking. Here, boy ! give us 

 here a bottle and a glass. And, Sir, my service to you, 

 and to all our friends in the South. 



Viat. Your servant, Sir. And I'll pledge you as 

 heartily; for the good powdered -beef I eat at dinner, 

 or something else, has made me thirsty.
