CHAR xn. THE THIRD DAY. 245 



To which we may also, and with very good reason, add the 

 third way of angling by hand with a ground-bait, as a third 

 way of fishing in the middle, which is common to both trout 

 and grayling, and, as I said before, the best way of angling 

 with a worm, of all other I ever tried whatever. 



And now, sir, I have said all I can at present think of con- 

 cerning angling for a trout and grayling, and I doubt not have 

 tired you sufficiently; but I will give you no more trouble of 

 this kind, whilst you stay, which I hope will be a good while 

 longer. 



ViAT. That will not be above a day longer; but if I live till 

 May come twelvemonth, you are sure of me again, either with 

 my master Walton, or without him ; and in the meantime shall 

 acquaint him how much you have made of me for his sake, and 

 I hope he loves me well enough to thank you for it. 



PlSC. I shall be glad, sir, of your good company at the time 

 you speak of, and shall be loath to part with you now ; but when 

 you tell me you must go, I will then wait upon you more miles 

 on your way than I have tempted you out of it, and heartily 

 wish you a good journey.
