Framed Print of Five Minutes for Refreshment, 1883. Creator: Unknown
Five Minutes for Refreshment, 1883. Sportsmen in the Scottish Highlands, whether deer-stalking, or grouse-shooting, or salmon-fishing be their chosen pursuit, will probably make acquaintance with a "gillie, " who may be just such a hardy veteran, a genuine son of that "land of the mountain and the flood, " as the brave old fellow portrayed on our front page. Donald, or whatever his name is, with many sterling North British virtues, has not the merit, in some persons eyes, of being a tee-totaller; but it is seldom, if ever, that he has been seen "fou, " or what we should call drunk. Pure Highland whisky, taken in a very small dose, may be recommended, perhaps, as an antidote to the ill-effects of a wetting, or of a chilly mist; but the truth is that he rather likes a drop. The fishing-basket which he has been carrying for a successful angler begins to feel heavy, though it be filled only with trout of moderate size; and he may be excused, after several hours of toil, in guiding, advising, and plying the gaff-net at needful moments, if he sits down and produces the pocket-flask, with a bit of oatcake or bannock. "Five minutes for refreshment, " as they say at Mugby Junction on the railway journey from London to the North'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
