Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sword of Damocles, Vol. 2 of 3
Hence, between the Squire and the pike there was perpetual war to the knife, or rather hook and not only did that gentleman angle perseveringly for them himself, and set trimmers by the score, but he was too glad if any one else would do the same, and help to exterminate the omnivorous monsters.
N ow, trolling for Jack in the winter months was his twin-brother's favourite amusement, in pursuit of which Grumpy Grayle knew he was perfectly welcome to catch all he could. Not that it would have made the slightest difference to him had it been otherwise but, such being the case, he was more bold and obtrusive than usual, sinking for the nonce the feud between himself and the Squire in that between the Squire and the pike, and spinning his bait immediately beneath the hall windows. The spot chosen by him, exactly opposite to the lawn, was the most advantageous for the purpose, and he made no scruple of taking up his position thus, so to speak, in the very eye Of the house.
