This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.
| identifier | question |
|---|---|
| 29098 | How often have we seen a bright glistening substance like a sleeve button or a coin, dropped into water and swallowed immediately? |
| 33045 | Now what more inducement does anyone want? |
| 46169 | To the question, Exactly what constitutes a really efficient and satisfactory rod for dry fly- fishing? |
| 28719 | Where is Joyeuse Gard? |
| 40446 | So much for the tackle to be used in fly- fishing, and, being thus provided, in what way should the tyro go to work? |
| 40446 | The first point to be considered is, Should he fish up stream or down? |
| 2422 | Did he learn his religion from''his mother or his nurse''? |
| 2422 | He did not say, like Fox, when Burke spoke of''a seat under a tree, with a friend, a bottle, and a book,''''Why a book?'' |
| 2422 | Of Walton''s book we may say:--''Laudis amore tumes? |
| 2422 | Scots wha fish wi''salmon roe, Scots wha sniggle as ye go, Wull ye stand the Bailie? |
| 17171 | Can not something be done to save our fish in Connecticut River? |
| 17171 | Is it above tidal water? |
| 17171 | What is the situation of the pond compared with the river? |
| 17171 | What is the size of the pen, how large area, how deep? |
| 17171 | What kind of failures were there, and the probable reasons therefor? |
| 39321 | But here a very natural question arises as to what, if not the natural fly, the fish takes the imitation to be? |
| 39321 | Does this ever happen to the sunk fly? |
| 39321 | If this is true of the flies, what could not be said of their inventor? |
| 36821 | Who cares for the miller now? |
| 36821 | You see the ways the fisherman doth takeTo catch the fish; what engines doth he make? |
| 36821 | ARE there any fish in the river to which you are going? |
| 36821 | If you have had bad sport, and say to him,"Which way shall we go now?" |
| 36821 | no sport? |
| 43177 | Can this income be counted upon in the future? |
| 43177 | What does the future hold for this place? |
| 43177 | Wherein is the benefit to Illinois, when only one fisherman can engage in shelling to- day where six worked with profit five years ago? |
| 26072 | But what has made it so? |
| 26072 | There is a class of anglers(?) |
| 26072 | We do n''t say that a man has not a right to do as he likes if he pays for his boat; but we_ do_ ask, Is this sport? |
| 26072 | We see the young of all other fish, but why do we never come across a young_ ferox_? |
| 26072 | Who knows where we may meet? |
| 26072 | to hear a locomotive screech where formerly you thought yourself so far"frae the Sautmarket o''Glesca"? |
| 26072 | what would you say if you were now to be allowed to haunt the old spot? |
| 18320 | ''58?). |
| 18320 | Amoeba? |
| 18320 | Fresh(?) |
| 18320 | SHEVYAKOV?. |
| 18320 | Small forms inclosed in cup or"house"of ovoid or goblet shape, colorless and probably gelatinous( chitin?) |
| 18320 | Zoothamnium elegans D''Udekem''64? |
| 18320 | cohnii_? |
| 18320 | socialis_ Gruber? |
| 18320 | velox?_ Quen. |
| 26632 | But putting first things first, how would they eat in the meantime? |
| 26632 | If it should fail to materialize-- as had been known-- what then? |
| 26632 | Or would you prefer a bass or a perch? |
| 26632 | This is a fine sheepshead, Mr. Stadly[ the music master], shall I help you? |
| 26632 | What fleets come yearly upon the coasts of Newfoundland and New England for fish, with an incredible return? |
| 26632 | What raw materials? |
| 35351 | A few thousand years ago the question was impressively asked,"Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook?" |
| 35351 | How many would think health worth the cost of such hardships? |
| 35351 | It must, of course, be admitted that large stories of fishing adventure are sometimes told by fishermen-- and why should this not be so? |
| 35351 | Now, why should this statement be discredited? |
| 35351 | What sense is there in the charge of laziness sometimes made against true fishermen? |
| 35351 | Why, then, should not rabbit hunting, when honorably pursued, be given a respectable place among gunning activities? |
| 37278 | And what angler is there who does not love to go over them at times, one by one, and recall the incidents surrounding the history of each? |
| 37278 | What fisherman is there who has not in his fly- book a dozen or more flies that are perennial reminders of great piscatorial events? |
| 37278 | When he had recovered from the shock he remarked, smilingly,"That was n''t half bad for a Dutchman, now, was it?" |
| 37278 | Who hath lain alone to hear the wild- goose cry? |
| 37278 | Who hath watched the black- tail mating? |
| 37278 | Who hath worked the chosen water where the ouananiche is waiting, Or the sea- trout''s jumping- crazy for the fly? |
| 34672 | , that he had a chip on his shoulder and that if any blanked owl knocked it off heWould Who? |
| 34672 | Who, me? 34672 An owl on the limb of a tall birch demanded, in stentorian voice, to knowWho? |
| 34672 | Five minutes later Bige appeared, coming down the path gently demanding,"Why in time did n''t you shoot that deer? |
| 34672 | The mystery of the flying trout was now solved, but a new conundrum was presented to my enquiring mind; namely, how did the old lady catch them? |
| 34672 | What in tunket were you doing anyhow?" |
| 34672 | Who in---- are you anyhow?" |
| 34672 | Who? |
| 34672 | With what did the bear bait her hooks? |
| 40018 | Doctor, why does a hooked bass break water and shake his head? 40018 Good Lawd, Jeff,"exclaimed one,"w''at yo''done do dat fur? |
| 40018 | How high can a black- bass leap from the water, do you think? |
| 40018 | What is it? |
| 40018 | In the latter state it is also known as_ sac- à- lait_,"bag for milk"(?). |
| 40018 | Is it through fear or rage?" |
| 40018 | She quietly adjusted her gown as if nothing unusual had occurred, and asked:"Has you- uns got any matches? |
| 40018 | Then came the natural and inevitable query,"Where did you catch it?" |
| 40018 | What more can one want? |
| 40018 | What old angler does not remember the eagerness and expectancy with which he watched the"cork"in days gone by? |

| 33846 | But what for? |
| 33846 | But, Eddie,I began,"what will you do with them? |
| 33846 | Did you ever sleep in your clothes in the woods? |
| 33846 | Did you hit either of them? |
| 33846 | Do you suppose there are two outlets? 33846 Eddie,"I said reproachfully,"can it be, in a drug store like that, there is neither alcohol nor witch hazel?" |
| 33846 | Where are you going, this time? |
| 33846 | Why does n''t the State of Maine and the Province of Nova Scotia pay a bounty for the scalps of a few hunters and logmen? |
| 33846 | Will you agree to eat this one if I shoot him? |
| 33846 | You want a pillow, do n''t you? |
| 33846 | And how did the ungrateful thing repay us? |
| 33846 | Could it be that the river had divided at some unseen point and that we had followed one fork and they another? |
| 33846 | Could the guides have met with shipwreck in some desperate place and disabled one or both of the canoes, perhaps losing our stores? |
| 33846 | Do n''t you know that you ca n''t thrash him into the net like that?--that you must dip the net_ under_ him? |
| 33846 | Do n''t you know you might lacerate a fellow''s ear, or put a hook through his lip, or his nose, or something?" |
| 33846 | Do n''t you remember me?" |
| 33846 | I yelled,"are you dead?" |
| 33846 | Was it possible that they had really passed us during some period when we had left the water, and were now far ahead? |
| 33846 | Why not a couch of this aromatic balm? |
| 33846 | Would I give him the same terms? |
| 48195 | ( 2) What are the causes of the decline? |
| 48195 | ( 3) How can the fishery be improved? |
| 48195 | ( 3) What is the growth of the quahaug, and how long does it take to raise a crop? |
| 48195 | ( 4) What is the value of a quahaug farm? |
| 48195 | ( 5) What benefits would the quahaug industry receive from such a system? |
| 48195 | ( 6)_ Who are the Objectors?_ Objectors to any new system are always found, and are not lacking in the case of shellfish culture. |
| 48195 | But what far- sighted business man will invest money in a business which stands a good chance of being completely"wiped out"in a few years? |
| 48195 | If many acres of Massachusetts flat, idle at present, are capable of such a yield, should such economic waste be allowed? |
| 48195 | If so, how extensive? |
| 48195 | In considering quahaug farming, many questions naturally arise:( 1) Is quahaug farming an established fact, or a mere theory? |
| 48195 | WHO WOULD BENEFIT? |
| 48195 | What good does it do a man to plant a hundred bushels of clams, if the next person has a legal right to dig them? |
| 48195 | Who can blame the oysterman for raising quahaugs with his oysters, in view of the fast- declining quahaug industry? |
| 48195 | Why should not scallops be transplanted to our Buzzards Bay harbors, to again restock these areas? |
| 48195 | Why should not the towns, by the expenditure of a little money, restock flats such as these for the benefit of their inhabitants? |
| 48195 | _ What sized clams are best for planting?_ The size best adapted must be determined for each flat. |
| 29346 | Did you see that one? |
| 29346 | Now what? |
| 29346 | That''s the record.... And all let go alive-- unhurt.... Do you suppose any one will believe us? |
| 29346 | What do you see? |
| 29346 | What do you think of that? |
| 29346 | What next? |
| 29346 | What''d happen if we skipped a flying- fish across the water in front of those leaders? |
| 29346 | What''ll he weigh? |
| 29346 | What''s he going to do? |
| 29346 | Wo n''t it be risky to lift him into the canoe? |
| 29346 | _ They?_My brother glared darkly at me. |
| 29346 | As for myself, what did I care how much the swordfish weighed? |
| 29346 | But is that not rather hard on the lightning- bugs? |
| 29346 | Could any fisherman desire more joy? |
| 29346 | Did n''t you almost bungle that?" |
| 29346 | Did we have good luck? |
| 29346 | Did you ever look at a white sea- bass? |
| 29346 | Is it not the loss of things which makes life bitter? |
| 29346 | Let me wade out and pull it off?" |
| 29346 | My brother said,"What do you know about that?" |
| 29346 | Now how do you like it?" |
| 29346 | The first man who ever spoke to me about this species said to me, very quietly with serious intentness:"Have you had any experience with bonefish?" |
| 29346 | What becomes of these seven tons of white sea- bass and all the other tons and tons of yellowtail and albacore? |
| 29346 | What can he be, anyhow? |
| 29346 | What chance has a school of fish against that? |
| 29346 | What did you think I''d do?" |
| 29346 | What happened? |
| 29346 | What made that great bunch of Yankee boys turn back the Hun hordes? |
| 29346 | Who ever heard of a bonefish, anyway? |
| 29346 | Who fishes just to kill? |
| 29346 | Who says the Americans can not shoot or fight? |
| 29346 | Who would not? |
| 29346 | Why did I keep it up? |
| 29346 | Why not more? |
| 29346 | Why? |
| 29346 | did you see him?" |
| 37856 | = Ideal Angling Time.=--The last two weeks in June-- what lovelier period for brook trout fishing in the rich flower- lined mountain streams? |
| 37856 | = The Fishless Fisherman.=--"You took a day off from your work and went fishing? |
| 37856 | = The Magic Fly.=--"Reader, did you ever throw the fly to tempt the silvery denizen of the lake or river to his destruction? |
| 37856 | And can not woman be as artful and gentle in pursuits and as appreciative in feeling as man? |
| 37856 | And is not the white miller artificial fly patterned after the living white miller fly? |
| 37856 | And why this charge against the innocent? |
| 37856 | But, when I say to him,"What''s the difference, Captain, in losing one or two fish here and wasting half a hundred on shore?" |
| 37856 | Cape Cod, and Long Island? |
| 37856 | Charles Zibeon Southard, author of_ Trout Fly- Fishing in America_:"In reply to your question about trout flies,''Am I right?'' |
| 37856 | Have any luck?" |
| 37856 | Have you noticed his astonishment when he found the hook was in his jaw? |
| 37856 | How many Anglers know approximately the number of casts they make in an hour? |
| 37856 | How many know the number of rises they have and when? |
| 37856 | How many know the number of trout that rise and strike and are hooked and landed? |
| 37856 | If it''s the fish alone that is the object of the Angler''s eye, why resort to any sort of tackle when there''s a fish stall in every bailiwick? |
| 37856 | Is not the artificial black gnat imitative of the live black gnat? |
| 37856 | It is not un- anglerlike to catch any fish hooked beyond the lips? |
| 37856 | Many what? |
| 37856 | Now, how could this or that artificial fly be in season if it were not copied from the living fly? |
| 37856 | The cheap, so- called split bamboo of the dry- goods store bargain(?) |
| 37856 | What would have been my predicament had the rod been of split bamboo?" |
| 37856 | What''s the good in climate if it''s smoked and burned? |
| 37856 | When does the wild shrub smell sweeter than now, the wind blow more balmily, the songbirds trill sweeter, and the spotted trout bite better? |
| 37856 | Where can I enjoy trout fishing amid good scenery and good cheer without its necessitating a lengthy absence from the city? |
| 37856 | Who ever read an Angler''s story without the song birds in it? |
| 37856 | Why so many patterns? |
| 37856 | Will these words soon be labeled in our dictionaries''obsolete''? |
| 37856 | Would it not be a fair proposition to say that at least as many trout would be caught under the latter circumstances as the former? |
| 43874 | And why should I do that, Pat? 43874 A natural dun comes along abreast of his; will his poor imitation be taken in preference to the Simon pure? 43874 All this said, then, what form of fly are we to use? 43874 And can we so improve these as to obtain the desired results? 43874 And does not the same apply in the domain of sport? 43874 And what fisherman can not recall instances ofduffer''s luck,"the veriest tyro catching, perhaps, the fish of the season? |
| 43874 | And who, except the ambidextrous man, would be bold enough to shave himself entirely with the left hand? |
| 43874 | Are you not content with your tip?" |
| 43874 | Asked what all this comedy meant, Pat at once replied,"Ach, sorr, would ye have me let the praste know I''d got three sovereigns in my pocket?" |
| 43874 | Besides, how are you advantaged? |
| 43874 | But if it is so effectual, why do not more fish adopt it? |
| 43874 | Can anyone tell us why a fish so acts? |
| 43874 | Can it be answered satisfactorily? |
| 43874 | Could the river fine down sufficiently before the end of your stay to enable you to have a glimmering hope of a fish? |
| 43874 | Does not this tell a tale of lost opportunities, and of the folly of being wedded to one style of angling? |
| 43874 | Does not this tend to show that many a fish may be moved without our knowledge, and that a subsequent fly might secure him? |
| 43874 | How would such a fly suit the quiet waters of the Avon? |
| 43874 | If we can only hope to catch half the amount of fish our progenitors did, what are the prospects of the next generation? |
| 43874 | In shooting, would you not be at an advantage if you could shoot equally from either shoulder? |
| 43874 | Is our system of fishing the rise wrong? |
| 43874 | Is there any phase of life in which ambidexterity would not be a factor of the greatest value? |
| 43874 | Is there still light for one more? |
| 43874 | Is this a mere matter of curiosity on his or her part, or may it be attributed to a feeling of_ camaraderie_ or friendship? |
| 43874 | May that not be because he is wedded to his three or four flies fished wet? |
| 43874 | Or does the fault lie in over- cutting of weeds and bad river farming? |
| 43874 | Or does the mischief lie more in our river, water, and weed management? |
| 43874 | Or, if this is too much to attribute to fish intelligence, what other suggestion can be made? |
| 43874 | SURELY angling with the dry fly can be claimed as the highest branch of the gentle craft? |
| 43874 | Shall we have to fall back on black bass or rainbow trout to secure a race of free- rising fish? |
| 43874 | Surely that was a rising fish by the bank of rushes yonder? |
| 43874 | That was a good rise; was it at your fly? |
| 43874 | The fisherman-- how would it favour him? |
| 43874 | WHY does a salmon take a salmon fly, and what does it represent to him? |
| 43874 | We were going back to England on the morrow, and were settling up generally, when my gillie Pat said to me,"Your honour, would ye buy me a pig?" |
| 43874 | What angler amongst us could tie a Turle knot, or even thread an eyed fly, left- handed? |
| 43874 | What is he taking? |
| 43874 | What is that in the meadow over there? |
| 43874 | What prophet is there who can tell us what we should do then? |
| 43874 | Where is that fly? |
| 43874 | Where is that waxed silk? |
| 43874 | Who will tell us what to do in such a case? |
| 43874 | Why, in the name of goodness, had you not examined the fly when it came back after your last rise? |
| 43874 | Will he be taken too? |
| 43874 | Would it not be a priceless boon equally to the soldier, the surgeon, the engineer, the craftsman, the clerk, or the artisan? |
| 9198 | A match: Come_ Coridon_, you are to be my Bed- fellow: I know brother you and your Scholer wil lie together; but where shal we meet to morrow night? |
| 9198 | And does not the fish look lovely? |
| 9198 | And then mine shall be the praise of a Country mans life: What will the rest sing of? |
| 9198 | And was not this place well chosen to eat it? |
| 9198 | But I pray you brother, who is it that is your companion? |
| 9198 | But Master, What if I could not have found a_ Grashopper_? |
| 9198 | But Master, do not_ Trouts_ see us in the night? |
| 9198 | But Master, have you no other way to catch a_ Cheven_, or_ Chub_? |
| 9198 | But Scholer, have you nothing to mix with this Discourse, which now grows both tedious and tiresome? |
| 9198 | But now lets say Grace, and fall to Breakfast; what say you Scholer, to the providence of an old Angler? |
| 9198 | But what say you now? |
| 9198 | But what say you to the_ Foxes_ of this Nation? |
| 9198 | But, Master, will this_ Trout_ die, for it is like he has the hook in his belly? |
| 9198 | But, good Master, did not you say even now, that some_ Frogs_ were venemous, and is it not dangerous to touch them? |
| 9198 | Can you sing it, Scholer? |
| 9198 | Come Hostis, how do you? |
| 9198 | Come Hostis, where are you? |
| 9198 | Come on my masters, who begins? |
| 9198 | Come, Scholer; which will you take up? |
| 9198 | Does not this meat taste well? |
| 9198 | Gentleman Huntsman, where found you this_ Otter_? |
| 9198 | How now? |
| 9198 | I pray, honest Huntsman, let me ask you a pleasant question, Do you hunt a Beast or a fish? |
| 9198 | I''ll tell you when I have caught him: look you here, Sir, do you see? |
| 9198 | Lord, who hath praise enough, nay, who hath any? |
| 9198 | Marry, God requite you Sir, and we''l eat it cheerfully: will you drink a draught of red Cow''s milk? |
| 9198 | Nay, who knows but that our agreeing no better, is the defect of my not understanding her language? |
| 9198 | Now Sir, has not my Hostis made haste? |
| 9198 | Now_ Piscator_, where wil you begin to fish? |
| 9198 | Oh me, all the Horse are got over the river, what shall we do now? |
| 9198 | On my word Master, this is a gallant_ Trout_; what shall we do with him? |
| 9198 | Shall I conclude her simple, that has her time to begin or refuse sportivenesse as freely as I my self have? |
| 9198 | Shall I have nothing from you that seems to have both a good memorie, and a cheerful Spirit? |
| 9198 | Well Sir, how do you like it? |
| 9198 | Well then, I pray, as we walk, tell me freely how you like my Hoste, and the company? |
| 9198 | What is it, I pray Sir? |
| 9198 | What mirth doth want when beggers meet? |
| 9198 | Why Sir, I pray, of what Fraternity are you, that you are so angry with the poor_ Otter_? |
| 9198 | Why( Sir) is Angling of Antiquitie, and an Art, and an art not easily learn''d? |
| 9198 | Why, Sir, what s the skin worth? |
| 9198 | Why, how will you dress him? |
| 9198 | _ Bright shines the Sun, play beggers, play, here''s scraps enough to serve to day: What noise of viols is so sweet As when our merry clappers ring? |
| 9198 | _ If all the world and love were young, And truth in every Shepherds tongue? |
| 9198 | _ are some direction how to fish for the_ Trout_ by night; and a question, Whether fish bear? |
| 9198 | and also how to use them? |
| 9198 | is Supper ready? |
| 9198 | is my brother_ Peter_ come? |
| 9198 | is not mine Hoste a witty man? |
| 9198 | is not this worth all my labour? |
| 9198 | was it,_ Come Shepherds deck your heads_: or,_ As at noon_ Dulcina_ rested_: or_ Philida flouts me_? |
| 9198 | what Song was it, I pray? |
| 9198 | would not you as willingly have them destroyed? |
| 46680 | ''What flies do you most affect here?'' 46680 Can you recommend a quiet inn near this point where I can find decent treatment? |
| 46680 | How now do his feet touch the heather? 46680 O, sir, doubt not but that Angling is an art; is it not an art to deceive a trout with an artificial fly?" |
| 46680 | Oh, is that you? |
| 46680 | Reader, did you ever throw the fly to tempt the silvery denizen of the lake, or river, to his destruction? 46680 Squills"awoke and replied,"What luck yourself, Governor? |
| 46680 | Thought what was funny? |
| 46680 | What is the use of my telling you what manoeuvres that trout will perform before he comes to the landing- net, gently as a lamb? 46680 What luck, boys?" |
| 46680 | Where''s Ferguson? |
| 46680 | Who would have dreamt that little thing would have stood such a strain? |
| 46680 | 4 line is not well; for what is the leader but a continuation of the line? |
| 46680 | A momentary glance, a cordial good evening; the question then came-- To whom am I indebted for this greeting? |
| 46680 | Can all brother anglers say the same? |
| 46680 | Did n''t we just suffer for our country? |
| 46680 | Did the late freshets of last fall destroy the trout eggs deposited in the streams about you?" |
| 46680 | Do you mark the regal presence in yonder glinting pool, upon which the sun flashes with an intensity which reveals the smallest pebble on the bottom? |
| 46680 | Exhausted? |
| 46680 | He begins thus:"What is a sea- trout? |
| 46680 | I am asked a great many times what is the secret of fly- casting? |
| 46680 | I asked"Dah- veede"( he was very particular about the pronunciation of his name),"how shall I dispose of myself in this cranky thing?" |
| 46680 | I asked,"What is it?" |
| 46680 | I wonder if it would not be thus with a life quite devoid of events-- would one be able to distinguish such from Heaven? |
| 46680 | Is he not at once revelling in the past and dreaming of the future? |
| 46680 | Is it possible? |
| 46680 | Nay? |
| 46680 | Nor his knightly retinue drawn up there abreast just behind him in supporting position? |
| 46680 | Push along, you say? |
| 46680 | Reader, did you ever"camp out"in the midst of a dense grove of pine or spruce trees? |
| 46680 | Shall we ever look upon his like again? |
| 46680 | These are a good protection-- but the soles? |
| 46680 | This Rio, de la Merced, would it prove to him indeed a_ river of mercy_, or a river of humiliation? |
| 46680 | Was John not of like passions with ourselves? |
| 46680 | Was Peter less or more than man? |
| 46680 | Was it possible to forget it when I first wet a line in the water of the Sea of Galilee? |
| 46680 | Was it such a night as this that tempted men to leave their fellows for a hermitage? |
| 46680 | Well you may say so, for what is more beautiful than a well- developed pound trout?" |
| 46680 | What did he care? |
| 46680 | What was the fuss? |
| 46680 | What was to be clone? |
| 46680 | When the curved line is straight again, will I feel the bass at the end or only the bare flies? |
| 46680 | When, and how did they manage to get there? |
| 46680 | Where did they originate? |
| 46680 | Who does not love the lovely trout? |
| 46680 | Why did not the trout rise before? |
| 46680 | Why not? |
| 46680 | You can not see that salmon, just there at the curl of the rapid? |
| 46680 | Your black slender rod- box and the creel denote you are on fishing intent, but where are you bound? |
| 46680 | do you expect I am coming through that brush? |
| 46680 | or,"Did the unusual severity of the winter cause destruction to the trout spawn in the headwaters of your brooks?" |
| 46680 | what flash was that across the pool, so swift and sudden that it seemed to begin and end at once? |
| 46680 | what is that?" |
| 46680 | what is the use of trying to tell all the fun and glorious sport we had? |
| 46680 | where did you get those, Governor?" |
| 2022 | And do the people actually believe all that? |
| 2022 | Are we but automata, worked by springs, moved by the stronger impulse, and unable to choose for ourselves which impulse that shall be? 2022 But their bodies were found?" |
| 2022 | But,I said, and paused--"are you sure your watch was right?" |
| 2022 | Can I have a word alone with you, sir? |
| 2022 | Never seen again? 2022 No,"she said,"I did not see him; where was he?" |
| 2022 | Stop and lunch, wo n''t you? 2022 The Bloody Doctor"was in_ Macmillan''s Magazine_,"The Confessions of a Duffer,""Loch Awe,"and"The Lady or the Salmon?" |
| 2022 | Then why did you smile-- don''t you remember? 2022 To the Devil?" |
| 2022 | ( A BAD DAY ON CLEARBURN) Thou askest me, my brother, how first and where I met the Bloody Doctor? |
| 2022 | A plan occurred to me; I tore a leaf from my sketch- book, put the paper with pencil in his hand, and said,"Where do you live? |
| 2022 | Anglus.--Now, Scholar, said I not so? |
| 2022 | Are not these triumphs chronicled in the"Scotsman?" |
| 2022 | But what joy was there in this while the"take"grew fainter and ceased at least near the shore? |
| 2022 | But, Scholar, with what fly caught ye these, and where? |
| 2022 | Came we not forth to catch fish? |
| 2022 | Dost thou remember, fair lady of the ringlets? |
| 2022 | Had I, too, lost my Eurydice? |
| 2022 | He might"otter"the loch, but how could I prevent him? |
| 2022 | Ho, runaway, how have you sped? |
| 2022 | How long? |
| 2022 | I am an hungered; wilt thou taste my cates? |
| 2022 | I said;"what wind blew_ you_ here?" |
| 2022 | In a moment of profane confidence my younger brother once asked me:"What do_ you_ do in sermon time? |
| 2022 | It was no affair of mine, and yet-- where had I seen him before? |
| 2022 | Ladies, would you have acted as Olive Dunne acted? |
| 2022 | Life has for weeks been odious to me; for what is life without honour, without love, and coupled with shame and remorse? |
| 2022 | Men call it a Phantom, Master; wilt thou not try my Phantom? |
| 2022 | Men, my brethren, would ye have deserted the salmon for the lady, or the lady for the salmon? |
| 2022 | Mortby?" |
| 2022 | Next time I met Miss Breton I told her the story, and said,"You remember how we saw Allen, at Blocksby''s, just as we were going away?" |
| 2022 | Or was it a treasure of Michael Scott''s, who lived at Oakwood, says tradition? |
| 2022 | Probably it was not dark and windy enough, but who can explain the caprices of salmon? |
| 2022 | Scotus.--And now, Master, wherefore wert thou wroth with me? |
| 2022 | Scotus.--Oh, Master, what is this? |
| 2022 | Scotus.--What, Master, this dry ditch? |
| 2022 | THE LADY OR THE SALMON? |
| 2022 | Then why, a persevering reader may ask, do I fish? |
| 2022 | There was a town we could n''t get into"( Seringapatam? |
| 2022 | Was the trout not morally caught, was there no way of getting him to see this and behave accordingly? |
| 2022 | Were they lost in the snow?" |
| 2022 | What could I do with him? |
| 2022 | What fiend is it that prompts a man just to try a hopeless cast, in a low water, without testing his tackle? |
| 2022 | What had gone wrong? |
| 2022 | What pleasure is there in landscape and tradition when such accidents befall you? |
| 2022 | What says the poet? |
| 2022 | What think you of my song, Scholar? |
| 2022 | Where is my landing- net? |
| 2022 | Where is thine usquebaugh? |
| 2022 | Where were you at a quarter to four?" |
| 2022 | Where, Master, is your river? |
| 2022 | Wherefore are the trout in Loch Tummell so big and strong, from one to five pounds, and so scarce, while those in Loch Awe are numerous and small? |
| 2022 | Who forgets his first trout? |
| 2022 | Why has Yarrow been so much more besung than Tweed, in spite of the greater stream''s far greater and more varied loveliness? |
| 2022 | Why on earth do you ask?" |
| 2022 | Why should I not take a farewell cast, alone, of course? |
| 2022 | Wilt thou, of thy courtesy, throw it up for my Scholar? |
| 2022 | Would pride, or pardon, or mirth have ridden sparkling in your eyes? |
| 2022 | and"What flies?" |
| 2022 | how bring him to a warm and dry place? |
| 2022 | they were not found indeed till this day"? |
| 683 | And for the dogs that we use, who can commend their excellency to that height which they deserve? |
| 683 | But before you go further, I pray, good master, what mean you by a leather- mouthed fish? |
| 683 | But now what shall be done with my Chub or Cheven that I have caught? |
| 683 | But pray, brother Peter, who is your companion? |
| 683 | But what say you now? |
| 683 | But what say you to the Foxes of the Nation, would not you as willingly have them destroyed? |
| 683 | But where shall we meet to- morrow night? |
| 683 | But whither am I going? |
| 683 | But, good master, did you not say even now, that some frogs were venomous; and is it not dangerous to touch them? |
| 683 | But, master, do not Trouts see us in the night? |
| 683 | But, master, will this Trout which I had hold of die? |
| 683 | But, scholar, have you nothing to mix with this discourse, which now grows both tedious and tiresome? |
| 683 | Can any man charge God, that He hath not given him enough to make his life happy? |
| 683 | Come on, my masters, who begins? |
| 683 | Come, hostess, how do you? |
| 683 | Come, scholar, which will you take up? |
| 683 | Devotion will add life unto the letter: And why should not That, which authority Prescribes, esteemed be Advantage got? |
| 683 | Does not this meat taste well? |
| 683 | Gentleman Huntsman, where found you this Otter? |
| 683 | I pray, honest Huntsman, let me ask you a pleasant question: do you hunt a beast or a fish? |
| 683 | If I would be prodigal of my time and your patience, what might not I say in commendations of the earth? |
| 683 | In the meantime will you drink a draught of red cow''s milk? |
| 683 | Is not mine host a witty man? |
| 683 | Look you here, Sir, do you see? |
| 683 | NOW, Piscator, where will you begin to fish? |
| 683 | NOW, Sir, has not my hostess made haste? |
| 683 | O, Sir, doubt not but that Angling is an art; is it not an art to deceive a Trout with an artificial Fly? |
| 683 | On my word, master, this is a gallant Trout; what shall we do with him? |
| 683 | One beggar affirmed it was all one: but that was denied, by asking her, If doing and undoing were all one? |
| 683 | Pray''r by th''book? |
| 683 | Shall I conclude her to be simple, that has her time to begin or refuse, to play as freely as I myself have? |
| 683 | Shall I have nothing from you, that seem to have both a good memory and a cheerful spirit? |
| 683 | So, Sir, now he is mine own: what say you now, is not this worth all my labour and your patience? |
| 683 | The question is rather, whether you be capable of learning it? |
| 683 | Those that deny them to breed by generation, as other fish do, ask, If any man ever saw an Eel to have a spawn or melt? |
| 683 | Was it,"Come, Shepherds, deck your herds"? |
| 683 | Well met, gentlemen; this is lucky that we meet so just together at this very door, Come, hostess, where are you? |
| 683 | Well then, I pray, as we walk, tell me freely, how do you like your lodging, and mine host and the company? |
| 683 | Well, Sir, how do you like it? |
| 683 | What is it, I pray, Sir? |
| 683 | What mirth doth want where Beggars meet? |
| 683 | What more manly exercise than hunting the Wild Boar, the Stag, the Buck, the Fox, or the Hare? |
| 683 | What noise of viols is so sweet, As when our merry clappers ring? |
| 683 | What say you, scholar, to the providence of an old angler? |
| 683 | What should we talk of dainties, then, Of better meat than''s fit for men? |
| 683 | What song was it, I pray? |
| 683 | What will the rest sing of? |
| 683 | What would a blind man give to see the pleasant rivers, and meadows, and flowers, and fountains, that we have met with since we met together? |
| 683 | When these were gone, we heard as high a contention amongst the beggars, whether it was easiest to rip a cloak, or to unrip a cloak? |
| 683 | Why, Sir, I pray, of what fraternity are you, that you are so angry with the poor Otters? |
| 683 | Why, Sir, what be those that you call the fence- months? |
| 683 | Why, Sir, what is the skin worth? |
| 683 | Why, how will you dress him? |
| 683 | Yes; Why not? |
| 683 | all the horse are got over the river, what shall we do now? |
| 683 | and Common? |
| 683 | and does not the fish look lovely? |
| 683 | and was not this place well chosen to eat it? |
| 683 | is my brother Peter come? |
| 683 | is supper ready? |
| 683 | or,"As at noon Dulcina rested"? |
| 683 | or,"Chevy Chace"? |
| 683 | or,"Johnny Armstrong"? |
| 683 | or,"Phillida flouts me"? |
| 683 | or,"Troy Town"? |
| 683 | shall we follow them over the water? |
| 683 | that is more sharp- sighted than any Hawk you have named, and more watchful and timorous than your high- mettled Merlin is bold? |
| 683 | what if I could not have found a grasshopper? |
| 683 | who hath praise enough, nay, who hath any? |
| 683 | would''st thou be guiltless? |
| 23343 | Any sport? |
| 23343 | Are you there? |
| 23343 | Certainly, why not? |
| 23343 | Do they ever go over? |
| 23343 | Eighteen pounds, was n''t he? |
| 23343 | How is she the morn? |
| 23343 | Shall we wet your salmon inside? |
| 23343 | Well, old''un; what luck with the paternoster? |
| 23343 | What did he take? |
| 23343 | What shall I do, cousin, now? |
| 23343 | Why should I? |
| 23343 | ( on box of wagonette with tired fishermen behind): Well, Doctor, what have you done? |
| 23343 | ALL: What? |
| 23343 | And does not an old poet ascribe to our alder the quality of protector to other growths? |
| 23343 | And who dare say us nay? |
| 23343 | Any luck, General? |
| 23343 | Are there anywhere in England larger chub than those of the Loddon? |
| 23343 | Begin at the beginning must I? |
| 23343 | But, after all, what would the morrow bring forth? |
| 23343 | DOCTOR( shrugging his shoulders): What time did the Mayfly come up? |
| 23343 | Did you never before see a charred stump that you should shy so? |
| 23343 | Do you fancy that you are a thoroughbred that you should bolt at such a gentle touch of the spur? |
| 23343 | Do you mind holding the fish up for a moment?" |
| 23343 | Eight do you say? |
| 23343 | GENERAL( pacing downwards): That''s it, is it? |
| 23343 | Had Brown seen sign of a fish? |
| 23343 | Had Brown taken any good shots? |
| 23343 | How did you get on? |
| 23343 | How do they escape from these triangles? |
| 23343 | How many is that? |
| 23343 | How many? |
| 23343 | How was the fish to be got into the boat? |
| 23343 | If there is any wrinkle in salmon fishing that the General does not know, you would like to hear of it, would you not? |
| 23343 | Indian name too? |
| 23343 | Might one trespass so far on the reader''s patience as to return to the inspiration of the beginning of this sketch for a conclusion? |
| 23343 | More line? |
| 23343 | Need it be said that Halford''s ante- chamber to paradise was his fisheries? |
| 23343 | Now, if that little_ Waterside Sketches_ chap was here, let me see, how would he tick it off? |
| 23343 | Or is it possible that after all you are not in the exact lie of the salmon? |
| 23343 | PARSON: Get on? |
| 23343 | PARSON: What have you done? |
| 23343 | Saw you ever such brilliant vesture, such resplendent fins? |
| 23343 | See that? |
| 23343 | Sport? |
| 23343 | That man was not a fool who wanted to know, if you did not blow your own trumpet, who was to blow it? |
| 23343 | The chances of friend A. were of course held by Master Ben to be the best of the two, and, in truth, why not? |
| 23343 | The scores of times I was asked"What does''Red Spinner''mean?" |
| 23343 | Three or thereabouts, did it? |
| 23343 | Was it collapse? |
| 23343 | Was this a thing to be proud of? |
| 23343 | What are they doing at the ford, Harvey? |
| 23343 | What fish did Scugog contain? |
| 23343 | What is that feeling you get in salmon fishing that tells you so surely that the fly is doing its work well? |
| 23343 | What meant the sudden stoppage? |
| 23343 | What was close time to her? |
| 23343 | What, in all reasonable conscience, could be nicer? |
| 23343 | What? |
| 23343 | Where can there be a more beautiful place than Sir Richard Waldie- Griffith''s park at Hendersyde, as it shows from the other bank of the river? |
| 23343 | Where''s Georgy? |
| 23343 | Where''s the doctor? |
| 23343 | Where? |
| 23343 | Who cared for cramp now? |
| 23343 | Why was that, Harvey? |
| 23343 | Will the reader be so good as to let it stand at that, and will my old friends accept a humble plea for that indulgence? |
| 23343 | Will the reader guess for a moment why? |
| 23343 | You wonder whether a salmon has noticed it and is following it craftily round; if so, will he take it? |
| 23343 | in part of a day? |
| 23343 | little mare Brownie, what are you doing? |
| 23343 | surely this is not going to be another blank?" |
| 23343 | what am I the worse for my paraphernalia? |
