of the lake. The next year l was fish,

hard inside him, so / opened him, and
what do you think it WASP" "Begorra,
your honor, I'd think it might be your
scissors only for one thing" What is
that asked the other ITS only just
this, your honor, that there never was
a pike in any of the Killarney lakes
since the world began"

When he asked him, What do you
think was inside the pike?" the gillie
replied: "Your scissors and nae CUTS,
and the Duke of Argyll-and he's far
greater man than the -king-would net
