You might send me some mayflies, old dear; about half a pint I shall want, judging from the infernal number of bushes on the river banks here. Mr. MILLS's bombs have put me right off my cast and I can't do the old Shimmy shake either somehow. I can hear the click of croquet balls in the Vicarage garden as I write, so the hooping season has begun. There's one other chap staying in the pub. Talks and dresses like a War profiteer. Seems to be doing nothing but loafing about at present. Yours ever, ALEC. _Postcard_. Have ordered the mayflies and will send them soon as poss. G. N. DEAR GARRY,--Thanks for yours. Not so anxious about mayflies now, but should be glad if you would send me a pound or two of the best chocolates. Having good sport. In haste for post, Yours, ALEC. DEAR ALEC,--I enclose a couple of pounds of extra special chocolates, but didn't know they were included in the Angler's Pharmacopoeia. Glad you are having good sport and justifying my choice of water. Yours as usual, GARRY. DEAR GARRY,--Thanks for chocs. The Vicar called the other day, and I have caught several cups of tea on the recoil at the Vicarage since. Miss Stevenson, his ewe-lamb, is A1, and we have had some splendid sport together. We caught eleven beauties yesterday; one was over 19-1/2 inches. Post just going out. Yours in haste, ALEC. P.S.--Another couple of pounds of chocs would be useful. DEAR ALEC,---Awfully glad to hear the fishing is so good. I shall expect a brace of good long trout for breakfast one of these days. Yours, GARRY. DEAR GARRY,--Who said anything about fish? I sub-let the water (at a profit) to the War-profiteer three days after arriving. Miss Stevenson, with a brace of bouncing terriers, is outside whistling for me, so I must put the lid on. Yours, ALEC. DEAR ALEC,--What's the idea? You say you let the fishing a fortnight ago; but last Wednesday you wrote about catching eleven beauties, one over nineteen and a half inches long. Some trout--what? But why the terriers? Yours in darkness, GARRY NORTON. _Postcard_. _Rats_. ALEC. * * * * * "WHEN GREEK JOINS GREEK."
