Context
“Certainly his back cannot feel as badly as mine does. But he cannot pull this skiff forever, no matter how great he is. Now everything is cleared away that might make trouble and I have a big reserve of line; all that a man can ask.
"Fish," he said softly, aloud, "I'll stay with you until I am dead."
