I cast again, spinning out six feet more of water proof silk, and, as the line hissed through the air far across the pool, I saw my three flies fall on the water like drifting thistledown. The Pur ple Emperor sneered. You see, he said, I am right. There is not a trout in Brittany that will rise to a tailed fly.

We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive classic literature collection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. Also in books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. We use state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works. The Purple Emperor watched me in silence. I cast again, spinning out six feet more of waterproof silk, and, as the line hissed through the air far across the pool, I saw my three flies fall on the water like drifting thistledown. The Purple Emperor sneered."You see," he said, "I am right. There is not a trout in Brittany that will rise to a tailed fly.""They do in America," I replied."Zut! for America!" observed the Purple Emperor."And trout take a tailed fly in England," I insisted sharply."Now do I care what things or people do in England?" demanded the Purple Emperor.
