ABSTRACT
Sir Peter Simon had been from early youth passionately fond of fishing and, although he became a very busy and successful professional man, he always devoted the summer holidays to his favourite sport. After testing various regions, he finally came to prefer the Highlands of Scotland. He was, however, deeply distressed by what he considered the vulgar notoriety conferred by the Loch Ness Monster. Although he had often fished in that Loch, he had never come upon any sign of this curious animal, and his nature was such that he thought everything not visible to himself must be mythical.
