"I am not getting much fish at this rate," said young Knowlton at length with a light laugh.
"No," said Diana. "Why don't you stop and try here? Here looks like a good place. Right in that still, deep spot, I dare say there are trout.
"What will you do in the meantime, if I stop and fish? It will be very stupid for you."
"For me? O no. I shall sit here and look on. It will not be stupid. I will keep still, never fear."
"I don't want you to keep still; that would be very stupid for me."
"You can't talk while you are fishing; it would scare the trout, you know."
"I don't believe it."
"I have always heard so."
"I don't believe it will pay," said Knowlton as he fitted his rod—"if
I am to purchase trout at the expense of all that."
All what? Diana wondered.
