OF PURFLING AGAIN 285 



I had caught him, proved too small for keeping. 

 So I gave him his liberty. 



VEN: Why, sir, what fly is this? Here is 

 a woundily big hook, and here is a brave show of 

 silver tinsel and peacock herl. 



Pise : It is a sedge-fly that came by accident 

 among my tackle. 



VEN : Here comes friend Corydon, the keeper, 

 to lead you to your dry clothes. 



Pise : Prithee, sweet scholar, not a word about 

 the sedge-fly. Our day is ended, and I am glad 

 to see that you have profited so well by my 

 instruction. 



VEN : And by your example, fair master.
