AND HOW I HAVE CAUGHT MY FISH 229 



I expected that the Highland train would have 

 started, but was pleased to find it waiting. At our 

 door stood the station-master to usher, as I found, 

 my so-far companion to a carriage of the train 

 which was to carry me also to my destination. I 

 was proceeding to a " smoker" when he beckoned 

 to me, and asked me why I was deserting 

 him. How fortunate it was for me that it was 

 known that his Grace would be travelling in that 

 train ! 



After passing Dunkeld I am quite familiar with 

 all the salmon pools as far as to the place where the 

 Tummel joins, but not so familiar with them as my 

 fellow-traveller was. 



At Ballinluig, where I had to change, my 

 parting words were, " I wish you good morning, 

 and I hope that your three sons may return 

 to you safe and sound." To which he replied, 

 " And may you, sir, enjoy good sport in Glen 

 Lyon."
