Contest includes: this is the life, Baird Fleming thought, as he took his canoe skill-fully through a stretch of rapids, avoiding the hidden rocks he knew so well. I’d like to stay right here, settle for live in the country and never see Washington again. He was lying to himself, of curse, but in that moment he almost believed the lie. It was satisfying and cleaning. This river smoothed out into a placid little lake ad he pulled his paddle into the canoe and drifted. It was quiet almost to stillness and the sun was lighting the last color of the autumn leaves. Occasionally a fish broke water, but fleming already had rainbow tout in this reel, as many as he could use in the next few of succes. Tonight he had nothing to do but eat, drink a little, and get some more sleep. No one could get at him here with corporation problems or political postmortems. Nobody but Jane know where he was and where could not tell anyone, and much, much more.This book does not have illustrations. Thanks for Looking.
