partridges in tbe covert where x used to surprise them decades ago wild ducks fls dusk and at dawn along the old river route to the laker and the wild rioe fields on its border suckers ran in the

knowed where it was alwus hided snd be had no doubt a tale to tell at supper of the aged man who had fished from the point in the dun remote past i left him fishing ever notice how much more you want
