The Kingfish 297 
victim, at least to-day, is the butt of gibes and 
laughter; but not so with Mare Antony. He held 
up his catch proudly that his mistress might look 
upon its charms, then said to an attendant: “ Un- 
hook it. True, it is not so large as I conceived 
by the play it made, but it is by far the o/des¢ fish 
taken to-day.”
