AN ANGLER AT LARGE
future waggonette shall have read this little plaint, and the general merriment shall, by his, be lessened, the general ignorance by him be illuminated. And so—for, fair play to the cockney, he is receptive of ideas—the good seed shall bear fruit, and a day may come when a bean-feast descended from these honest citizens shall see in my grandson, as he goes on his way to fish for the trout which I now put down, not a harmless lunatic, fit target for waggery, but a decent angler, suitably clothed, and shall cry with one voice, not "Get your hair cut!" but "Tight lines!"
