drain on their pockets, but it is better for them to suffer in this way than from the sort of drainage I have described.

It is needless to say that for ourselves we might have caught many fish but for this untoward circumstance. It seemed to me that the fish wanted to rise, but could not dare to put their noses outside the water on account of the horrible stench that pervaded the outer world. Better, far better, would it have been for this fine stream to have continued to receive the sewage of that old town, as it has done for many-hundreds of years; the fish would have enjoyed it, and the river would probably be none the worse for the small body of sewage which it received and purified by its great volume as of yore. My young friend caught one trout and a brace of grayling, and I got one adventurous chub.

As we drove home late in the evening our pony sniffed, and sometimes seemed inclined to bolt from the tainted air, and as for me, I sometimes think that my nostrils are hardly yet free of the noisome stench. So ended my day's fishing, the only day I have had for many months.
