“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?”
