both Trout and Grayling; and, as I said before, the best 

 way of angling with a worm of all other I ever tried what- 

 ever. 



And now, Sir, I have said all I can at present think of 

 concerning 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 

 mean time 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. 



Pise. 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.
