"The other basket is down by my fishing-place--it's just as pleasant there, Preston." They went back to the basket, and a very convenient huge rock was found on the edge of the brook, which would serve for table and seats too, it was so large and smooth.

"Why because a fisher is a kind of a Spartan animal, while he is about his business." "What kind of an animal is that ?" said Daisy, looking up from her arrangements.
