THE PRIEST. 157 



pages, he must be content to live and die unknown and 

 unappreciated. But here the reader may be inclined to 

 say, " I did not open this chapter to be bothered with de- 

 scriptions of the Captain and the Commissioner and the 

 Priest. I wanted to learn all about salmon fishing in the 

 Saguenay, and there is not one word upon the subject, 

 although it is headed with these very words." 



My dear friend — don't be impatient — don't be angry. 

 The reason you have learned nothing about salmon fishing 

 in the Saguenay from this chapter is simply, that there is 

 no salmon fishing in the Saguenay ; so keep your temper 

 and turn tranquilly to the chapter which follows, and 

 " you shall see — what you shall see."
