"Yes."

"Will you put up with the discomforts without grumbling?"

"Y-e-s. Can't I give just one little kick?"

He picked up the basket and started off again.

"All right, all right, I won't!" she cried, seizing his arm.

"Very good," said The Parson. "Now we'll go fishing."

They turned and started in the other direction.
