There is an old saying, ‘Familiarity breeds contempt.’ While, like
many other home-made proverbs, this is only partly true, there can be
no doubt but that familiarity makes for confidence. The new recruit
may be as strong and brave as the veteran soldier, but the lack of
experience makes him nervous and unreliable under a fire which the
older soldier faces without a visible tremor of eye or hand.

If you are going a-fishing in the morning, secure your bait to-night.
Worms are nocturnal, and they come out of their holes at night,
provided it is not too dry on top. The ideal time for scooping them in
is about dusk, after a long warm rain. Get a lantern and with it carry
your bait can half filled with wet moss or soft moist earth. You will
find, if the conditions are right, swarms of worms along the edges of
beaten paths, or in the short grass alongside. Usually the worm has
one end of its body in a hole, and as it is very alert, you must catch
it before it has time to think, perhaps I should say, to act. For this
purpose the bait gatherers will do better in pairs. One holds the can
and lantern, while the other seizes the worm. Always grab the worm at
the place just above the earth.
