ANGLING SKETCHES 



Lay me here, \\ here I may see 

 Teviot round his meadows flowing, 

 And about and over me 

 Winds and clouds for ever going. 



It was dark before we splashed through the 

 ford of Borthwick Water, and dined, and wrote to 

 Mr. Anderson of Princes Street, Edinburgh, for a 

 supply of Bloody Doctors. But we never had a 

 chance to \xy them. I have since fished Clearburn 

 from a boat, but it was not a day of rising fish, and 

 no big ones came to the landing-net. There are 

 plent)- in the loch, but you need not make the 

 wear)' journey ; they are not for you nor me.
