AN ANGLER AT LARGE

I
Of Us, a Harp and a Spanish Jug

As the Valley began to open out my head was always at one window or the other. Because of the luggage the fly was a closed one. It is sinful to drive to Willows in a closed thing, but what would you? To say nothing of the rain, unless people are bound for one of those eccentric restorative establishments in Germany where nudity is compulsory, a few boxes are bound to accompany their migration.

So we had with us:

1. A harp in a harp-case.

2. An American trunk, not quite so large as a Pantechnicon van.

3. A steamer trunk, not quite so large as the last.

4. A telescopic basket.

5. Another telescopic basket.

6. Another telescopic basket.
