" I looked on with worshipful eyes as I silently absorbed the old
fellow's natural wisdom and philosophy. Here were Experience and
Adventure personified and I was properly impressed and thrilled. 'Now
ye take this pole and get behind that bush yonder so's ye won't be
seen.' I took the rod gingerly and then started noisily toward the
brook. 'Hyar, hold on! Ye'll scare every trout in the pool if ye don't
watch out. Them banks is soft and boggy an they shivers like all get
out ev'ry time ye step down on the groun hard. Them shivers carries
down to the stream an warns the fish that somethin's wrong. Let me go
first an ye can follow. Go easy, just as if ye were trying to stalk a
gray squirrel"
