...Trout & Needlepoint. In his rare moments of repose. Beedle Smith was a warm man of catholic tastes. He was an admitted raconteur, a passionate hunter and trout fisherman (he made his own skillfully fashioned rods), a talented chess and bridge player, and a voracious reader who wolfed Rider Haggard and Joseph Conrad along with the military classics.

...very helpful. Knowing the situation, we have not been too harsh on the embassy, which was just as embarrassed as we were. This penny-wise seminar could have done a lot of harm in any other country than Holland. America should realize that it is terribly hard to catch trout with just bread crumbs, especially when other countries know exactly what trouts like...
