“Hooks and lines? No.”

“Well, sir, we can’t fish without lines. Didn’t I tell you to get ’em while I got the worms?”

“No.”

“Well, now, that’s strange. But I did mean to, sir. What are we to do? Go back?”

“No, no! Don’t let’s waste time.”

“But we can’t catch no fish without a hook.”

“We don’t want to catch any fish.”

“But we want people to think we do.”

“Yes; and if they see us with rods down by the water, they will think so.”

“More stoopids they, sir. I needn’t carry this here ugly pot o’ worms and the basket, then, no longer, sir?”
