“Oh! Boy! Isn’t it a grand and glorious feeling — as Briggs would say. Who wants to sit in a stuffy 
old office when the fish are biting? Who wants to motor on dusty roads when he can go out on the cool 
restful river or lake? Who wants to chase a little white ball around the links? Who wants to bat a ten- 
nis ball back and forth on a sizzling court? 
Feel that nibble?

Oh! that’s just a bunt. No, by gollie, it’s a whale. Gee, what a strike! Whoop la 
Look at him fight. Steady there, old boy. Give him line — oh, now you have him stopped. 
“Good old ‘Bristol.’ Dandy Meek. They are certainly there in the fight. 
“This is the life. A — a ah! Not dead yet. Still a lot of life left. Look out now. Keep him away 
from that bank, and hold him up from the bottom. Now he is slowing down — easy now — there you come 
like a good boy. Isn’t he a beauty? Oh, Boy!’’
