"Who was fishing for him." "Oh! Oh! I've got him." The girl was dancing excitedly along the bank. "No! Oh, what a wretch! He's gone. Now if I get him you tell me what to do, but don't touch me." "All you have to do is to hold him steady at the first. Keep your line fairly tight. If he begins to plunge, give him line. If he slacks, reel in. Keep him nice and steady, just like a horse on the bit." "Oh, why didn't you tell me before? I know exactly what that means--just like a colt, eh? I can handle a colt." "Exactly! Now try lower down--let your fly float down a bit--there." Again there was a wild shriek from the girl. "Oh, I've got him sure! Now get the net." "Don't jump about so! Steady now--steady--that's better. Fine! Fine work! Let him go a bit--no, check--wind him up. Look out! Not too quick! Fine! Oh! Look out! Get him away from that jam! Reel him up! Quick! Now play him! Let me help you." "Don't you dare touch this rod, Allan Cameron, or there'll be trouble!" "Quite right--pardon me--quite right. Steady! You'll get him sure. And he's a beauty, a perfect Rainbow beauty." |
