Elizabeth HandIf the retreat house was a trap, it was a very nice one.
About This Quote
The poet who wrote this quote was describing the perfect trap for the trout. The retreat house was not too far from the stream, but it was in a very secluded spot. And it appeared to be an old, abandoned building with ivy growing over the roof. If it really was a trap, it was a very nice one indeed. But if it wasn't, the poet was still in for a wonderful day of fishing.
