As for tny chosen pursuit of 

 angling, (which I follow with dili- 

 gence when not interrupted by less 

 important concerns), I rejoice with 

 every true fisherman that it has a 

 greeting of its own, and of a most 

 honourable antiquity. There is no 

 record of its origin. But it is quite 

 certain that since the days of the 

 Flood . . . two honest and good- 

 natured anglers have never met each 

 other by the way, without crying out, 

 "What luck?" HENRY VAN DYKE, 

 Fisherman's Luck.
