"I hear what you're talking about," said the wife. "But you will make no
impression on Humphrey. As long as the fish rise to his bait, everybody
is what he ought to be. Bless you, Casuabon has got a trout stream, and
does not care about fishing it himself: Could there be a better fellow?'
"Well, there is something in that", said the Rector, with his quiet,
inward laugh. "it is a very good quality in a man to own a trout stream."
George Eliot "Middlemarch" [1871]
