33874 | How are the different orders of insects distinguished from each other? |
33874 | What is a species? |
33874 | *****{ 92} HOW CAN AN"ACULEATE"BE RECOGNIZED? |
33874 | What part in nature does this little rarity play? |
38902 | *****[ Illustration] The air is clear the day is warm, John Dull sits watching for a swarm; What''s this? |
38902 | I pride myself on knowing somewhat of the languages of Birds, Beasts, and( Fishes? |
38902 | RIDENTEM DICERE VERUM QUID VETAT? |
38902 | Were they discharged? |
38902 | [ Illustration] And Christine, what must she have felt While Bruin round about her smelt? |
38902 | [ Illustration] It chanced a pig- jobber that way Was passing by; he stopped to say"How much friend Dull for that fat pig?" |
38902 | [ Illustration]"What''s this I see come crawling on?" |
38902 | what''s that sound?" |
38902 | why what''s the matter?" |
34044 | Now ai n''t it a beauty? 34044 What are ye goin''to do with that wood?" |
34044 | Had n''t the best bee hunters in the country tried to find it and failed? |
34044 | Now the bee that flew east could be looked for, but what was the use? |
34044 | Now what about the bee in the tree? |
34044 | Turning to me he said,"You do n''t know who that stands for? |
34044 | Was he convinced this was the bee we had started with from the watering place? |
34044 | Was this true sportsmanship? |
34044 | What right had anyone to take this bee from me? |
34044 | When should a bee tree be cut and transferred to the hive? |
38516 | What are they aiming at, what are they trying for? |
38516 | Are there the same differences among the bees, perhaps, as among ourselves, some of them being gossips, and others not given to talk? |
38516 | Has a council of bees been summoned to consider whether they really must go? |
38516 | Is she commanding or imploring? |
38516 | Is she hastening their departure, or trying to prevent it? |
38516 | Is she the cause of all this emotion, or merely its victim? |
38516 | Is this so certain? |
38516 | Need we wonder, then, if our knowledge is still somewhat limited? |
38516 | Oh bees, we wonder, why all this toil and suffering? |
38516 | Oh little city, so full of faith, and mystery, and hope, why do your thousands of workers sacrifice themselves so cheerfully? |
38516 | What happens then to the old queen? |
38516 | What is this"spirit of the hive"--where is it to be found? |
38516 | What would the bees do, if we, by force or by some trick, were to bring a second queen into the city? |
38516 | Who is it selects from the crowd those who shall stay behind, and dictates who are to go? |
38516 | Why, one asks, do they show this amazing zeal; what makes them so cheerfully abandon all their present happiness? |
38516 | Why, we ask ourselves, why do they give up their sleep, the delights of honey, the leisure that their winged brother, the butterfly, enjoys so gaily? |
38516 | Would the mere sight of our movements, our buildings, machines and canals, give him any very real idea of ourselves? |
38516 | You may ask, perhaps, what does it matter to us whether the bees have or have not a real intelligence of their own? |
38516 | You will wonder, can these be the same friendly, hard- working bees that you have so often watched in the past? |
3163 | Did you ever notice,says he,"that the high- hole never eats anything that he can not pick up with his tongue? |
3163 | Oh, did you see that? 3163 But how many persons would have observed that the bird walked instead of hopped? 3163 Do they not look and nod to him from the bough? 3163 Do you remember the apple hole in the garden or back of the house, Ben Bolt? 3163 Does it mean a severe winter? 3163 Had some accident befallen him, or had he wandered away to fresh fields, following some siren of his species? 3163 How many eyes did Gilbert White open? 3163 Indeed, how can one by searching find a bird''s nest? 3163 Is there any other fruit that has so much facial expression as the apple? 3163 It would be interesting to know if jays ever rob jays, or crows plunder crows; or is there honor among thieves even in the feathered tribes? 3163 Shall we not say, then, in view of the above facts, that this little creature is weather- wise? 3163 She browses them down to be sure, but they are hers, and why should she not? 3163 The rats had built wisely, and would have been perfectly secure against any ordinary high water, but who can foresee a flood? 3163 Then, would a minister be apt to grow tiresome with two big apples in his coat- tail pockets? 3163 Was he out on a lark, I said, the spring fever working in his blood? 3163 We had found out the cider and the spirits, but who guessed the wine and the honey, unless it were the bees? 3163 What apple is that with a fat curved stem that blends so prettily with its own flesh,--the wine- apple? 3163 What boy does not more than half believe they can see with that single eye of theirs? 3163 What did she want? 3163 What would he see? 3163 When the hunter comes upon one of these yards the problem for him to settle is, Where are the moose? 3163 Who knows how much the bird lovers of New England lost by that foul deed? 3163 Whose design? 3163 Would he not naturally hasten along tolastly,"and the big apples? |
3163 | how many did Audubon? |
3163 | how many did Henry Thoreau? |
3163 | how many does the hunter, matching his sight against the keen and alert sense of a deer or a moose, or a fox or a wolf? |
26457 | But how do they become sensible of it? |
26457 | But how is it possible to conceive that their ovaries contain male eggs alone? |
26457 | But this expansion will be imperfect; why? |
26457 | But what is the secret means employed by nature to induce her departure? |
26457 | But what is the use of these laminæ? |
26457 | But what means does she use to excite their fury against them? |
26457 | But why do they lay male eggs only? |
26457 | But why does nature exact so great a sacrifice? |
26457 | But why has nature prohibited copulation within the hives? |
26457 | Do they by any secret means excite the fury of the combatants? |
26457 | Here then is the same result as M. Hattorf obtained? |
26457 | How do the bees on the surface of the comb discover that the queen is not on the next comb? |
26457 | Is it because after losing the antennæ, these queens have no more any characteristic which distinguishes the one from the other? |
26457 | Is it true, that it is unproductive unless fixed in this manner? |
26457 | Is their object to accelerate the combat? |
26457 | It may be asked whether that part we call the penis, is the sole part introduced into the female during copulation? |
26457 | May not the old mother be disgusted with her habitation? |
26457 | What influence has the size of the cells where the eggs are deposited on the bees produced? |
26457 | What is the physical cause of this difference? |
26457 | Why then can they no longer distinguish the worms of drones when deposited in the royal cells? |
26457 | Why therefore in this experiment did the workers allow their mutilated queen to depart alone? |
26457 | Why, after rendering the queen so much attention while she lived among them, did they abandon her now on her departure? |
26457 | Why, then, is this order inverted by retarded copulation? |
26457 | Why? |
26457 | Why? |
26457 | _ IS THE QUEEN OVIPAROUS? |
26457 | or may she not be influenced by some particular circumstances to abandon all her possessions to the young female? |
7027 | ''Are Joe and Henry friends of yours?'' 7027 ''Are you sure?'' |
7027 | ''But whom shall I ask for, when I arrive?'' 7027 ''Charles,''said the druggist one day,''do you remember the day you sorted bolts and nails for me?'' |
7027 | ''Now, Mother,''said Alfred angrily,''why do you ask me to do that, when you know I want to get started early? 7027 ''Oh, do I?'' |
7027 | ''See, Mother,''said Alfred,''is n''t this a nice string of trout?'' 7027 ''There, there, little girl,''said Mother,''what has happened? |
7027 | ''Well, well,''said Grandma kindly,''is this Daisy and Dan? 7027 ''Where''s Marion?'' |
7027 | ''Who got me out of the water?'' 7027 ''Why should I keep that lazy beast any longer?'' |
7027 | ''Would n''t you like to have a ball and bat?'' 7027 About another bee?" |
7027 | And what did my little girl like best of all? |
7027 | And who is going to get stung tonight? |
7027 | Are n''t they lovely? |
7027 | But ca n''t you keep them out? |
7027 | But why would n''t you take this one? |
7027 | But you''ll tell us a story first, wo n''t you, Grandma? |
7027 | Did n''t they ever change into good men? |
7027 | Did you ever hear such a wonderful song? |
7027 | Do they sting, like the bees in the orchard? |
7027 | Do you want us to leave you at home all alone? 7027 Does he mean that_ we_ can name him?" |
7027 | Grandma,said Don,"what kind of bee will you tell us about tonight?" |
7027 | How do you know? |
7027 | If they had come with us to Grandpa''s, they would not have been so lonesome, would they, Joyce? |
7027 | Is n''t he cute? |
7027 | Is n''t the grass nice and soft here? |
7027 | Is that the end of the story? |
7027 | It''s story time, is n''t it? |
7027 | Noticing that Willie''s clothes were badly worn, the gentleman said,''Will you not let me give you some money to buy clothes?'' 7027 Now,"said Grandpa,"you see why I wanted the fence between you and those hogs, do n''t you? |
7027 | O Don,she whispered,"do you think we can get it?" |
7027 | Oh, Don,cried Joyce,"what shall we call him?" |
7027 | Put plenty of them in our lunch- basket tomorrow, wo n''t you, Grandma? 7027 Then politeness means kindness, does n''t it, Grandma?" |
7027 | Was it the queen bee that stung me? |
7027 | Wh-- where am I? |
7027 | What did you enjoy most of all, during your vacation? |
7027 | What do we hear about tonight? |
7027 | What do you want to do today, children? |
7027 | What is it? |
7027 | What is the Milky Way, Grandma? |
7027 | What was the bee''s name, Grandma? |
7027 | Where_ are_ you? |
7027 | Which one? |
7027 | Why did you put those little pigs in the pen? |
7027 | Why not? |
7027 | Why, he said it just now-- didn''t you, Daddy? |
7027 | Why, you like honey, do n''t you, dear? |
7027 | Will you help me to get to the lily? |
7027 | Will you make us a kite, Grandpa? |
7027 | Without a saddle? |
7027 | ''But, my good friend- what do you know about it?'' |
7027 | ''Milton,''he said,''did you latch the gate when you came in this afternoon?'' |
7027 | ''What is it, son?'' |
7027 | ''Where have I met you before, my friend-- and what can I do for you now?'' |
7027 | And there stood old Ned, looking at them as if to say,"How did you like your bath?" |
7027 | Are you sure, children, that you still want to go to Grandma''s?" |
7027 | Bee Helpful[ Illustration]"What are you going to do with that rope?" |
7027 | But that would take quite a while; and what should they do, while they were waiting? |
7027 | Can you forgive me?'' |
7027 | Did you find anything in the chest besides bolts and nails, Henry?'' |
7027 | Do n''t you hear that old rooster telling you to get up? |
7027 | Do n''t you think it would pay to always be kind to the animals?'' |
7027 | Do you remember it?'' |
7027 | Have you ever noticed how gentle Grandpa is with all his animals?" |
7027 | He was astonished when a gentleman came up to him and said courteously,''Is this Reverend Sutherland?'' |
7027 | Holding out his hand, he asked in a feeble voice,''Is this Reverend Sutherland?'' |
7027 | They drew their chairs close to hers, and she began:"It was to be a story about a bee, was n''t it? |
7027 | Two or three men came running; and they worked over Willie, until at last he opened his blue eyes and asked faintly,''Where am I?'' |
7027 | What do I owe you for your trouble?'' |
7027 | What kind?" |
7027 | What shall I do next?'' |
7027 | What shall I do?'' |
7027 | What''s his name, Grandma?" |
7027 | Who was in trouble, they wondered? |
7027 | Why do n''t you let me throw them all away? |
7027 | Will you come with me?'' |
7027 | Would you mind stopping long enough to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen for me?'' |

43270 | ''; pg 67 Added missing second end quotes,''a toast, Sir?'' |
43270 | All this is true,replied the Bee,"but what a life am I now leading? |
43270 | And do you boast of this? |
43270 | And have you_ really_ been no where else? |
43270 | And is it thus these men of_ education_ converse together? |
43270 | And sensible, I hope, of the honour done him, in being permitted to assist a Bee? |
43270 | And so these are the flowers you admire,continues the Bee, as they alighted,"and which can only be equalled in Beauty by_ your_ wings? |
43270 | And spoil yours, I suppose? |
43270 | And where have you lived? |
43270 | And will they suffer themselves to be thus taken? |
43270 | But the question is, whether they have any right to destroy you, after that is done? |
43270 | But when shall I see you again? |
43270 | But why? |
43270 | Do you not know me? |
43270 | Do? |
43270 | Have you not yet learnt that there is something more valuable in a flower than its colour? |
43270 | How do you do, my friend? |
43270 | I should be glad of your company within it,returned the Bee,"were it large enough to admit us both, but what do you live upon? |
43270 | Is this the use they make of the power of speech, and which they imagine sets them so completely above the animals? 43270 It belongs to a_ naturalist_,"replied the Butterfly,"and do n''t you know what detestable creatures these are? |
43270 | It is our_ nature_,returned the thoughtless Butterfly;"and what is the mischief, as you call it, compared to that which men are daily doing? |
43270 | It_ is_ passed, I think,returned the young one,"do n''t you feel the warmth of the sun? |
43270 | Mind her coming? 43270 Oh where is it?" |
43270 | Oh, say no more of that,returned the Butterfly,"but tell me if you do not find yourself better already? |
43270 | We shall soon get this as well stocked as the other,replied the Bee;"but did you not see our Queen? |
43270 | Well, what discoveries have you made,enquired the Bee,"have you seen any one so busy as me?" |
43270 | What do you mean? |
43270 | What have you seen that has so alarmed you? |
43270 | What''s this? |
43270 | Where do you repose for the night? |
43270 | Ah, my dear friend, would not your wings be just as useful if they were not covered with red and purple? |
43270 | And so you really took it for_ me_?" |
43270 | But what can deter the obstinacy of a conceited youngster? |
43270 | Instead of answering his enquiry the officer, in a low voice, replied thus:"I say, who is this old fellow in the corner? |
43270 | On hearing an unusual murmur the mother queen appeared, with all her attendant train, to enquire who the bold intruder was? |
43270 | One was sitting at an open window, and the other walking up and down the room apparently much distressed;"what not one word?" |
43270 | The Butterfly found a resting- place near it, and the next day met his friend with anxious enquiries of"how he found himself?" |
43270 | Thus conversing they pursued their flight till arriving at a short distance from the well- known hive,"Do n''t you see it?" |
43270 | You very well know it is in our power to live without their assistance; what is it which they procure us but just an empty shell for our habitation? |
43270 | [ Illustration]"And did she believe him?" |
43270 | a sight of her is seldom had; were you not charmed with her majestic appearance?" |
43270 | and they will leave the acquaintance of that mean incendiary, who, under such a show of friendship, endeavours to widen the breach between them?" |
43270 | and what shall I do then?" |
43270 | any one of consequence? |
43270 | can not you taste some of the provision I am going to carry home? |
43270 | did you ever see any thing so foolish, as all to run away from my presence? |
43270 | do they not destroy us by thousands, whenever they have an opportunity? |
43270 | enquired the Bee, as he hurried after him,"what is in that house so very frightful?" |
43270 | enquired the Butterfly in a melancholy tone, on seeing his friend preparing for flight;"to- day?" |
43270 | enquired the Butterfly, half alarmed, though he knew not from what cause;"you are not going to hide yourself from me, are you?" |
43270 | exclaimed he, as he drew nearer;"my dear brother, how came you in such a situation?" |
43270 | have you any objection?" |
43270 | hey?" |
43270 | is it grown old, and crazy; or does it let the rain in?" |
43270 | is the creature disagreeable?" |
43270 | my friend, are you not cruelly wounded?" |
43270 | no, I suppose not,"replied he,"but the ladies are to be consulted; what say you ladies? |
43270 | or to what flower could he now pay his court? |
43270 | replied the old man,"to learn that there is any wit in making people appear more ridiculous than they really are?" |
43270 | returned the Bee,"I never heard of one, what does he do?" |
43270 | said he to his friend,"have you no settled place of abode, or do you rest upon the first flower you meet with?" |
43270 | said he, fluttering his wings for joy,"who shall despise the counsel of a Butterfly?" |
43270 | said the Bee, as soon as he drew near;"are you inclined for a long flight to- day? |
43270 | said the Bee, fluttering his wings for joy;"do n''t you behold the welcome spot?" |
43270 | surely they had better be without it, than use it to such a purpose; but what will be the end of this? |
43270 | surely you are too intent in gathering that food which I fear you will never be allowed to enjoy?" |
43270 | to''a toast, Sir? |
43270 | to''creature disagreeable? |
43270 | we want no such intruders here; ladies, are you alarmed? |
43270 | what lose such charming companions so soon?" |
43270 | what shall I do?" |
43270 | what, because you could not fly, were you to starve? |
43270 | where was he to go? |
43270 | will not the eyes of the two friends be opened, think you? |
4511 | Besides, of what is this consciousness composed, whereof we are so proud? 4511 What is the aim of their life, or its pivot? |
4511 | Whither do they tend, and what is it they do? |
4511 | And besides, are we, even in this little human parish of ours, such infallible judges of matters that pertain to the spirit? |
4511 | And further, can we tell how many of the things that we do would shock a being who might be watching us as we watch the bees? |
4511 | And if it seem more natural at first, is it not for the very simple reason that it really explains almost nothing? |
4511 | And if that be so, by whom shall this feebleness be set right? |
4511 | And if we imposed abnormal conditions upon the Panurgi, would these, in their turn, progress from a general corridor to general cells? |
4511 | And if you are not capable even of caring whether you be justly judged or not, of what value can your secret be? |
4511 | And in the case before us, which is right, in the end,--the insect, or nature? |
4511 | And who shall tell how many escape us? |
4511 | And yet may it not be that these questions are idle, and we who are putting them to you mere childish dreamers, hedged round with error and doubt? |
4511 | And yet, were we speaking of man in the manner wherein it were wise perhaps to speak of the bee, is there very much more we could say? |
4511 | Are these movements definitely, and for all time, arrested in each one of these species, and does the connecting- line exist in our imagination alone? |
4511 | But is there anything she does foresee, anything she does intend to preserve? |
4511 | But what becomes of the old sovereign? |
4511 | But who shall tell us how many others that we have not known have fallen victim to her restless and forgetful intellect? |
4511 | But why complete a picture with which all are familiar who have spent some years in the country? |
4511 | Can feebleness at times overcome that supreme reason, which we are apt to invoke when we have attained the limits of our own? |
4511 | Can you distinguish the song that blended so well with the whispering of the leaves? |
4511 | Could this quantity and quality be maintained by other means? |
4511 | Do they obey some God? |
4511 | Does a winged council debate the necessity of the departure? |
4511 | Does an analogous work on the bee exist? |
4511 | Does it only sustain and not raise? |
4511 | Does she command, or haply implore? |
4511 | Does this prodigious emotion issue from her, or is she its victim? |
4511 | Has a cloud that we can not see crept across the sky that the bees are watching; or is their intellect battling with a new regret? |
4511 | Has it not taken us thousands of years to invent a sufficiently plausible explanation for the thunderbolt? |
4511 | Have combs of foundation- wax been offered to the Meliponitae? |
4511 | How does she contrive, from among the myriad eggs her ovaries contain, to separate male from female, and lower them, at will, into the unique oviduct? |
4511 | How does this happen? |
4511 | How is it that if taken in a box to a spot two or three miles from their home, they will almost invariably succeed in finding their way back? |
4511 | How is it that one does not dig too deep, another not deep enough? |
4511 | If the mothers of the humble- bees were compelled to hibernate together, would they arrive at a mutual understanding, a mutual division of labour? |
4511 | Is it for this reason that they have lost sight of all the rest? |
4511 | Is it not possible that herein there may lie one of the perils of the human race? |
4511 | Is she hastening their departure, or trying to delay it? |
4511 | Is this so certain? |
4511 | Little city abounding in faith and mystery and hope, why do your myriad virgins consent to a task that no human slave has ever accepted? |
4511 | May this be a fortuitous music that fails to attain their inward silence? |
4511 | May we not say, too, of man that all his genius is comprised in his fashion of handling kindred necessities? |
4511 | Need we wonder if our knowledge be as scanty as our experience? |
4511 | Or is it merely an exaggerated reaction against the misfortune of the unfruitful queen? |
4511 | Reject it, and what can we set up against it, what can we put in its place? |
4511 | Shall we believe that in bees there exists the same difference of character as in men; that of them too some are gossips, and others prone to silence? |
4511 | Shall we on that account refuse to believe that these snares are pure accidents, occurring in accordance with a routine that is also incidental? |
4511 | Should we be more successful than they in preserving our presence of mind if some strange power were at every step to ensnare our reason? |
4511 | Was this mere chance, or had she followed instructions received? |
4511 | What are the bees to do when we, by force or by fraud, introduce a second queen into the city? |
4511 | What concern is it of ours whether this be a little less or a little more? |
4511 | What far- seeing fatality, taking the place of this one, do we ourselves obey? |
4511 | What is it tells the bees that at this point they must begin, and at that point stop? |
4511 | Whence do they derive the energy we ourselves never possess, whereby they break with the past as though with an enemy? |
4511 | Whence do they issue,--from the being itself, or from the force whence that being draws life? |
4511 | Whence the invariable magical coincidence between the angles of the lozenges? |
4511 | Where has this law been decreed, which, as we soon shall find, is by no means as blind and inevitable as one might believe? |
4511 | Where is the fatality here, save in the love of the race of to- day for the race of to- morrow? |
4511 | Who is it selects from the crowd those who shall go forth, and declares who shall remain? |
4511 | Who shall say where the wisdom resides that can thus balance present and future, and prefer what is not yet visible to that which already is seen? |
4511 | Why all this toil and distress, and whence comes this mighty assurance? |
4511 | Why endeavour to render too logical, or too human, the feelings of little creatures so different from ourselves? |
4511 | Why inquire as to whether this idea be conscious or not? |
4511 | Why try to depict the bees as more perfect than they are, by saying that which is not? |
4511 | Why weigh, with such infinite care, a minute fragment of almost invisible matter, as though it were a fluid whereon depended the destiny of man? |
4511 | Why will they not live as he lives? |
4511 | Would they accept them, would they make use of them, would they conform their habits to this unwonted architecture? |
4511 | Would they not risk the destruction of their species? |
4511 | { 10} What is this"spirit of the hive"--where does it reside? |
4511 | { 49} But what have we to do, some will ask, with the intelligence of the bees? |
4511 | { 62} And whom does the queen- bee obey? |
4511 | { 89}"But must we always, then,"the poet will wonder,"rejoice in regions that are loftier than the truth?" |
39248 | An accident? |
39248 | And are you going with the old Queen, or will you stay here with the Princess? |
39248 | And did you win? |
39248 | Are we all new bees in this hive? |
39248 | Are you all right, Nuova? |
39248 | Are you glad? |
39248 | Are you going to follow the old Queen? |
39248 | But how did you get out here in the garden? |
39248 | But how do you know you will love the new Princess? |
39248 | But it is not the bee way,interjected Tre; then adding boldly and tauntingly to Saggia,"Are you a new bee, too?" |
39248 | But why did n''t you shout out about the Bee Moth when you first saw her? |
39248 | But why do n''t you go, then? |
39248 | But why should I? |
39248 | But you are not afraid, are you? |
39248 | But you,she said--"aren''t you rather breaking bee tradition by helping me? |
39248 | Ca n''t you sing something more cheerful? 39248 Can you not do as other bees do? |
39248 | Did she lay any eggs? 39248 Die? |
39248 | Do n''t you ever have to do any work? |
39248 | Do you call jesting work? |
39248 | Do you call that hopping and singing work? |
39248 | Do you hear the birds sing and see the butterflies dance out there? 39248 Eh?" |
39248 | Foraging again, is she? 39248 Glad? |
39248 | Glad? 39248 Have you ever done it?" |
39248 | Here, what_ are_ you doing? |
39248 | Is she certain to be beautiful and sweet? 39248 Look here, who is this bee?" |
39248 | Not worth while to win in the Great Courting Chase? 39248 Of course, I am all right,"she said gently;"who would not be out here in this wonderful world, this golden sunshine, this fragrant air? |
39248 | Oh,cried Nuova,"from outdoors? |
39248 | Or are you? 39248 She is an example of industry, is n''t she? |
39248 | So that is what you call your work, is it? |
39248 | Sorry? |
39248 | Stay here? 39248 Surely I did not hurt them when I-- I-- pulled them?" |
39248 | Terrible, is n''t it? 39248 We are all glad, are n''t we?" |
39248 | What are you doing out here? |
39248 | What do you mean? 39248 What is the matter with you?" |
39248 | What matter to you what I am doing? |
39248 | What other hive has a jester, a bee that does no work, that just hops and sings? |
39248 | What''s the matter? |
39248 | What? |
39248 | Where is Nuova? 39248 Where? |
39248 | Who are you? 39248 Who sent you out? |
39248 | Who was she? |
39248 | Why do n''t you go and nurse babies? |
39248 | Why should she fight? 39248 Why should you be noticed then? |
39248 | Will they keep me in,she whispered,"if I go back into the hive? |
39248 | Yes, yes, you hear? |
39248 | You are not dead? |
39248 | You could not fly? 39248 You did n''t come out just now?" |
39248 | You did not win? |
39248 | You upstart young thing,she said,"take you out with us? |
39248 | You_ are_ a bee, are n''t you? |
39248 | 48"Drones work? |
39248 | Ah, well, who knows? |
39248 | Ah, well, who knows? |
39248 | Ah, well, who knows? |
39248 | Ah, well, who knows?" |
39248 | Ah, well, who knows?" |
39248 | Ah, well, who knows?" |
39248 | An old world for old bees, A new world for the new, And, ah, who knows the real truth? |
39248 | And do n''t they have to spin the web to keep us bees from killing them as soon as we see them?" |
39248 | And have n''t you wanted to talk with me? |
39248 | And he hopped more grotesquely than ever, while he sang:"Ah, well, who knows? |
39248 | And will she certainly love you?" |
39248 | Anyway"--and her voice grew more kindly--"do you really want to die? |
39248 | Are n''t you bee enough yet to know that each of us has her own appointed work and does it without worrying about what others are doing? |
39248 | Are you blind and deaf?" |
39248 | Are you going to shirk your duty? |
39248 | Are you one of those dreadful creatures they call''new bees''?" |
39248 | Are you sure to be able to catch-- her?" |
39248 | Are you"( she smiled again)--"are you, a-- new bee, too?" |
39248 | As the bee saw Nuova look up she called to her loudly and rather gruffly,"I say, pretty young bee, bring me up that lump of propolis, wo n''t you?" |
39248 | Be funny, ca n''t you?" |
39248 | Beffa gave a little hop; then looking up at Nuova, he sang:"Ah, well, who knows? |
39248 | Beffa, where?" |
39248 | But one old guard of testy temper added, speaking rather roughly to Beffa:"What are you doing here? |
39248 | But what difference does that make? |
39248 | But what had happened? |
39248 | Ca n''t you find some new ones?" |
39248 | Clean floors?" |
39248 | Die? |
39248 | Do n''t you know that bees do things according to custom? |
39248 | Do n''t you know that the winner always dies in the winning?" |
39248 | Do n''t you know you ca n''t go out until it is time for you to go? |
39248 | Do you prefer to stay here in safety and just wait on the drones?" |
39248 | Do you think I am going back into the dark hive to die like that poor forager and be dragged off and tossed out like a piece of dirty wax?" |
39248 | Do you, Hero?" |
39248 | Do you, Nuova?" |
39248 | Does n''t any one ever rest or have a good time?" |
39248 | Does n''t the Princess laugh at your old tricks? |
39248 | Drones work? |
39248 | Due looked around, and not seeing Nuova, said:"Why, where is she?" |
39248 | From the garden where the flowers and butterflies are? |
39248 | Go out? |
39248 | Has she laid any eggs? |
39248 | Have n''t we a shining new Princess to our hive; a virgin new Princess to we d and be a new Queen to us all? |
39248 | Have n''t you always objected to doing what the others do? |
39248 | Have n''t you always tried to do what you most wanted to? |
39248 | Have you a right to die yet? |
39248 | Have you done all you should do for the hive? |
39248 | How could this be? |
39248 | How did she get in? |
39248 | How is it worth it?" |
39248 | However, she said rather maliciously to Fessa:"Well, do you like to work with that sticky stuff? |
39248 | I glad? |
39248 | I say, work? |
39248 | If I am a useless bee, and only in the way, and a trouble to the community, should n''t you let them sting me and throw me out of the hive? |
39248 | Is she hurt? |
39248 | Is this the way of bees?" |
39248 | Look at them all,"and she waved an antenna toward the workers at the nursery cells,"do n''t you see what a good time they are having? |
39248 | Me work? |
39248 | Not worth while dying for? |
39248 | Please?" |
39248 | Saggia says so, does she?--and all of them say so, do they?--and you say so, do you? |
39248 | Sha n''t I go out and get you some?" |
39248 | So he sang loudly:"Ah, well, who knows? |
39248 | So she touched another nurse bee near her, named Due, with her antennæ so as to call her attention, and said in a low voice:"Where is Nuova?" |
39248 | That is rather a dangerous business for such an old bee, is n''t it?" |
39248 | The old world for the old bee; The new world for the new; For who may know the real truth? |
39248 | Then looking at the group of nurses, she added:"Where is Nuova?" |
39248 | Then she said slowly:"And if you do beat them, are you sure to get-- her? |
39248 | There must be some way to save the community, is n''t there?" |
39248 | We ca n''t be all exactly alike, and we ca n''t all like the same things, or think the same way, can we? |
39248 | What are you doing?" |
39248 | What are you-- a nurse, a wax- maker, or what? |
39248 | What can I do? |
39248 | What can he do here?" |
39248 | What do I live for but that?" |
39248 | What do you do with it, anyway?" |
39248 | What do you mean?" |
39248 | What kind of bee are you, anyway? |
39248 | What sort of a bee are you? |
39248 | What''s for to- morrow? |
39248 | What_ is_ the matter with you anyway? |
39248 | Where did she lay her eggs?" |
39248 | Where, Beffa? |
39248 | Who are you, anyway?" |
39248 | Who can say? |
39248 | Who ever heard such a question? |
39248 | Who is she?" |
39248 | Who saw her first? |
39248 | Why be sad with a new Queen to come? |
39248 | Why did n''t you call us sooner? |
39248 | Why do n''t you do what you are expected to do? |
39248 | Why do n''t you stick to your work? |
39248 | Why do you talk of dying? |
39248 | Why have n''t the crack- fillers found it?" |
39248 | Why should we mourn for an old Queen that''s gone? |
39248 | Why? |
39248 | Wo n''t you forgive me? |
39248 | Work? |
39248 | [ Illustration: Nuova began to clean his wings]"How do you come to be out here?" |
39248 | [ Illustration:"Drones work? |
39248 | [ Illustration:"What?" |
39248 | _ Did_ she lay any eggs, we say?" |
39248 | she asked,"or stay with the Princess?" |
39248 | she exclaimed, grasping Nuova and jerking her around;"what in the world are you doing and saying? |
39248 | she said;"what are you doing?" |
39248 | they cried;"when did she get in? |
39248 | what are you doing here? |
3421 | ( provisions, Spiders?). |
3421 | ), nimbly deposit her eggs on the Osmia''s harvest at the moment when the Bee is going indoors? |
3421 | ), the favourite prey, be lacking, must the Pelopaeus therefore give up foraging? |
3421 | After such pains, what foe could visit the dwelling? |
3421 | And by whom, pray? |
3421 | And then? |
3421 | And what does the Halictus mother do in this disaster? |
3421 | And what is that progress by units to us? |
3421 | And what of the sense of smell, distinguishing the dead from the living? |
3421 | And what reason can we allege for these innumerable clusters? |
3421 | And why were they not fertilized? |
3421 | And, if there were, O master, what would they teach us? |
3421 | Are not we ourselves, when the weather is about to alter, subject to subtle impressions, to sensations which we are unable to explain? |
3421 | Are the habits of an insect capable of modification? |
3421 | Are they alkaline or acid? |
3421 | Are they inclined to do their work among themselves rather than in the company of strangers? |
3421 | Are they then machines? |
3421 | Are things the same in animal industry? |
3421 | At first sight, this latter detail hardly deserves attention: is it not right to fill the pot before we put a lid on? |
3421 | Bearing this point in mind, would it be possible for me, by manoeuvring, to obtain an inversion of this order and make the laying begin with males? |
3421 | But does the hatching, by which I mean the emergence from the cocoon, take place in the same order? |
3421 | But does this rule express the whole truth? |
3421 | But is it correct? |
3421 | But is this really how things happen? |
3421 | But is this what we want to know? |
3421 | But what will the other do with its waste matter, cooped up as it is in a tiny cell stuffed full of provisions? |
3421 | But, should the time- honoured lichen be lacking, will the bird refrain from building its nest? |
3421 | By what aberration of nomenclature was the name of Lithurgus, a worker in stone, given to insects which work solely in wood? |
3421 | Can it be by sense of smell? |
3421 | Can she have no other establishments? |
3421 | Can the Bee''s poison reduce the prey to the condition required by the predatory Wasp? |
3421 | Can the shells of the Anthidia be air- proof, owing to some modification that escapes me? |
3421 | Can there really be an act of measuring? |
3421 | Can this mustering of the Halicti be due to a wish to resume the old intercourse with their friends and relations? |
3421 | Can we admit the presence of other wheels in the machinery for the new pattern, so different in shape and size? |
3421 | Can we discover the reason? |
3421 | Come, be honest: could he? |
3421 | Could one who knew nothing of the Sparrow but her nest under the eaves suspect the ball- shaped nest at the top of a tree? |
3421 | Did I say passed over their bodies? |
3421 | Do not the two sexes both call for the assistance of the fertilizing element? |
3421 | Do the natives of the same burrow, of the same hamlet, recognize one another? |
3421 | Do they know what they are doing? |
3421 | Do they prove that the Osmia is a geometrician, employing a strict measure based on the length of her body? |
3421 | Do we find a similar organ in the other Hymenoptera, whether honey- gatherers or hunters? |
3421 | Do you know the Halicti? |
3421 | Does each species of Megachile keep to a single plant, or has it a definite botanical domain wherein to exercise its liberty of choice? |
3421 | Does it know only one definite plant, its special province? |
3421 | Does not the geologist make the erstwhile carcases live anew in our minds in the light of the world as we see it? |
3421 | Does she know how to make use of houses which she has not tunnelled herself? |
3421 | Does she nevertheless end by descending to the quiet of the floor below? |
3421 | Does she penetrate to the cells and lay her eggs there in the mother''s absence? |
3421 | Does she use the old buildings or does she abandon them for good? |
3421 | Does the Osmia go outside, to gather on the ground the rubbish which she flung out when boring the cylinder? |
3421 | Does the function create the organ, or the organ the function? |
3421 | Does the insect collect resin impaired by the weather, soiled by the sanies of rotten wood? |
3421 | Does the insect in its turn receive a lasting impression of its earliest visions? |
3421 | Does the insect know beforehand the sex of the egg which it is about to lay? |
3421 | Earth washed in by the rain? |
3421 | For what reason? |
3421 | Has it pleasant memories of its first surroundings? |
3421 | Has personal experience not fully convinced us that the mere examination of the insect can tell us nothing about its particular industry? |
3421 | Has she any general survivors? |
3421 | Has she quite done, this time? |
3421 | Has she really an object? |
3421 | Has the jade a name? |
3421 | Have they, like ourselves, a special affection for the place which saw their birth? |
3421 | Have we eyes to see with, or do we see because we have eyes? |
3421 | Have we here a taste that is exclusive? |
3421 | Have we not, for instance, seen the name of Lithurgus, or stone- worker, given to a Bee who works in wood and nothing but wood? |
3421 | How are they prescribed for the insect, this one rather than that? |
3421 | How can this slight difference in age affect the total evolution, which lasts a year? |
3421 | How did the Hymenopteron master the terrible prey? |
3421 | How did the work of man''s pruning- knife bring about the abandonment of the natural lodging? |
3421 | How has this change been brought about? |
3421 | How is she apprised that the cocoon, which has undergone no outward change, contains a dead and not a live grub? |
3421 | How many Halicti are there in this Babylon? |
3421 | How shall it be given its correct dimensions without a pattern? |
3421 | How shall it decide? |
3421 | How shall the insect cope with such grave circumstances? |
3421 | How shall we distinguish one from the other? |
3421 | How shall we recognize them? |
3421 | How was the spiral staircase of the Snail- shell replaced by the cylindrical gallery of the reed? |
3421 | If the Bee at the bottom of the shaft wants to leave her lodging, will she spare those who bar her road? |
3421 | If, by the mere flexion inherent in her structure, the Leaf- cutter succeeds in cutting out ovals, how does she succeed in cutting out rounds? |
3421 | In her anxiety to get out, how will she set about her release? |
3421 | In this string of cocoons, which is the oldest, which the youngest? |
3421 | Is it an effect of pressure, of hygrometry, of electrical conditions, of properties that escape our coarser physical attunement? |
3421 | Is it inhabited by the Resin- bee or not? |
3421 | Is it to attack the partition on the right or that on the left? |
3421 | Is not the whole problem subordinate to a condition that can not be translated into cyphers? |
3421 | Is the Lamb when it first grips the teat a free and conscious agent, capable of improvement in its difficult art of taking nourishment? |
3421 | Is the insect as highly gifted? |
3421 | Is the insect conscious of what it does? |
3421 | Is the mother absolutely powerless to make a change in this arrangement, should circumstances require it? |
3421 | Is the organ really absent? |
3421 | Is there not at least a measuring adapted to each sex? |
3421 | Is there nothing beyond a laying in two series? |
3421 | May we, in this predicament, have recourse to the general structure of the insect, although this is not distinctive enough to be of much use to us? |
3421 | Might not this intercourse tend to cheer them and encourage them to patience? |
3421 | Must we take it that the two sorts of Bees are not equally sensitive to the influences of gravity? |
3421 | Now what would happen if the Bee, so scrupulous in matters of cleanliness, were to find a pupa in the cell which she is sweeping? |
3421 | Now, how are the sexes distributed in those layings which are necessarily broken up between one old nest and another? |
3421 | Of what does this influence consist? |
3421 | Of what use are its industrial variations? |
3421 | Or has it, for employment in its manufactures, a varied flora, in which its discernment exercises a free choice? |
3421 | Or was there want of skill on my part? |
3421 | Remnants of the putrefied Snail? |
3421 | Shall I be able to speak to you again? |
3421 | Shall I persuade them one day? |
3421 | Shall we ever obtain a satisfactory answer to the question? |
3421 | Shall we find an answer to the question in the varnish with which the silken fabric is impregnated? |
3421 | Shall you be safe from the Anthrax''sucker later on? |
3421 | Supposing that they survive when the business of the household is finished, to whom will the office of overseer fall? |
3421 | That is perfectly true; but are there any alterations? |
3421 | That is the mechanism in the lump; but what of the artistry? |
3421 | The explanation? |
3421 | Then what explanation shall I give of the wonderful facts which I have set forth? |
3421 | Then what is my explanation of the two facts? |
3421 | Then what was the object of the Leaf- cutter''s ridiculous pile? |
3421 | Then where is the answer to the riddle of the world? |
3421 | Then why should they escape the common rule, which requires that every living creature, male as well as female, should come from a fertilized ovule? |
3421 | To go no further, have we not just seen different artisans collecting and using pitch, some with spoons, others with rakes, others again with pincers? |
3421 | To whose share will the maternal dwelling fall? |
3421 | Was it terror on her part? |
3421 | We possess implements wherewith to pierce the walls; but where are we to strike to reach the final outlet and to reach it with the least delay? |
3421 | Well, have these life- saving experiments, with their immense importance to the race, become general by hereditary bequest? |
3421 | Well, how can this multitude of varied instincts teach us anything about gradual transformation? |
3421 | Well, if that just and mighty one held the earth under his thumb, would he hesitate whether he ought to crush it? |
3421 | Well, is the powerful Carpenter, all unheeding of fatigue, able to take advantage of such fortunate occasions? |
3421 | Well, which of the survivors, all equally entitled to the succession, will inherit the house? |
3421 | What an expenditure of ardent labour, of delicate cares, of wise precautions, to arrive at... what? |
3421 | What are the conditions brought into play to produce a result apparently so contrary to the laws of nature? |
3421 | What are we to conclude from all these experiments? |
3421 | What artifice can we then employ to provoke this second permutation? |
3421 | What can this polisher be? |
3421 | What clearer proof can we hope to find of the unconsciousness of the animal stimulated by instinct? |
3421 | What do they gain by their mustering? |
3421 | What does it contain? |
3421 | What does she pick up? |
3421 | What goes on inside these neophytes as they cross the threshold of the burrow for the first time? |
3421 | What has arithmetic to do with the case? |
3421 | What has become of them? |
3421 | What has malachurus, calling attention to the softness of the rump, to do in this connection? |
3421 | What is the puny idler there for? |
3421 | What is the use of that hole, left quite open or, at most, closed at the bottom with a feeble grating of silk? |
3421 | What is the use of this point which the larva leaves bare instead of inlaying it like the rest of the shell? |
3421 | What is to be done with the rest of the tunnel? |
3421 | What mental pattern guides her scissors? |
3421 | What model has the Megachile when cutting her neat ellipses out of the delicate material for her wallets, the robinia- leaves? |
3421 | What picture, what recollection has she of the pot to be covered? |
3421 | What reasons induced him to give up the spherical edifice? |
3421 | What stimulus does the insect obey when it employs the reserve powers that slumber in its race? |
3421 | What system of measurement tells her the dimensions? |
3421 | What the Bee of the brambles does can not her kinswomen of the reeds do too? |
3421 | What then is the reason of these thousand industries? |
3421 | What was her object, I ask again, when she persisted in obstinately piling up her wafers? |
3421 | What was the new victim submitted to the butcher''s knife? |
3421 | What will guide the insect in its gleaning? |
3421 | What will happen under these several conditions? |
3421 | What will happen? |
3421 | What will it yield, a male or a female? |
3421 | What will the theorists''levers lift with this fulcrum? |
3421 | What will they do in the presence of such a find? |
3421 | What would happen if a parasite were surprised at her work by the Bee? |
3421 | When it works with vegetable matter, is it exclusive in its tastes? |
3421 | When kneading it, does it mix some dark ingredient with it? |
3421 | When light is so easy to obtain, why go in search of scientific obscurity? |
3421 | When the cocoon that blocks the way contains a dead instead of a live grub, will the result be the same? |
3421 | When the hen sits upon her eggs, is the oldest always the first to hatch? |
3421 | When the mother, the original genitrix, has been able once to dispense with a coadjutor, why does she need one later? |
3421 | Whence are these materials obtained? |
3421 | Whence, I ask, comes this general preference for the cylinder, never used hitherto? |
3421 | Where again did the Silvery Megachile, for whom I created an exotic shrubbery, make the acquaintance of the lopezia, which comes from Mexico? |
3421 | Where will the others take up their quarters? |
3421 | Which is its mole- hill among the many others near, all similar in appearance? |
3421 | Which of the four supplies the mastic? |
3421 | Who are these vagabonds? |
3421 | Who knows? |
3421 | Who will ever know? |
3421 | Who would dare put him to such a test? |
3421 | Who would dare to indulge in any such theories? |
3421 | Who would venture to suggest it in the case of the Bee grappling with her transcendental problem? |
3421 | Why all these different trades, to say nothing of the others? |
3421 | Why do they not hatch like the other eggs, which outwardly they resemble in every respect? |
3421 | Why does he become necessary now? |
3421 | Why does she not take the intruders by the skin of the abdomen? |
3421 | Why should it not answer for its Cotton- bees and, in the same way, with the Leaf- cutters? |
3421 | Why should she put herself out? |
3421 | Why stir up more of them? |
3421 | Why talk of acid or alkaline reactions, which prove nothing, when it is so simple to have recourse to facts, which prove everything? |
3421 | Why this fatuous clemency? |
3421 | Will it forgo the delight of hatching its brood because it has not the wherewithal to settle its family in the orthodox fashion? |
3421 | With what does she build when there are no geranium- flowers handy? |
3421 | Would she think differently if the lilac- bush were not there? |
3421 | Yes, but are you quite sure that things happened as you say? |
22354 | ''Tell me where you live and I''ll tell you what you''re worth,''says an old adage.-- Would you like some nectar? |
22354 | A hole? 22354 Ah,"said the queen,"who''d have thought the sprites were so lovely?" |
22354 | Am I supposed later on to gather nectar all day long? |
22354 | An offen leg? 22354 And then-- must you die?" |
22354 | Are n''t you feeling well? |
22354 | Are there many frogs in the lake? |
22354 | Are those long threads really his legs? |
22354 | Are you feeling better? |
22354 | Are you sad? |
22354 | Bobbie,she said with a sly smile,"what sort of a hole is that one there, under the leaf?" |
22354 | Borer, that''s what I said.-- Do n''t fall off your base, mademoiselle.-- You''re a wasp, are n''t you? |
22354 | But do n''t you eat, too? |
22354 | But do tell, do you hop out into the world just so, without knowing where you mean to land? |
22354 | But have you no relations? |
22354 | But how, without running into danger? |
22354 | But how_ can_ I say anything if you do n''t give me a chance? |
22354 | But what is a pocket? |
22354 | But why are you crying? |
22354 | But why should I? 22354 But why?" |
22354 | Can you? |
22354 | Did the ball belong to you? |
22354 | Did you ever? 22354 Do n''t you know? |
22354 | Do n''t you mind the rain? |
22354 | Do n''t you think well of human beings? |
22354 | Do they try to catch you? |
22354 | Do we fly into that? |
22354 | Do you expect me to erect a honeycomb on his nose? |
22354 | Do you know how you can tell I am right? |
22354 | Do you mean me? |
22354 | Do you mean the dewdrop? |
22354 | Do you mean to insinuate that I am afraid of you-- I of you? |
22354 | Do you mean to insult me? 22354 Do you see that old nesting- box for starlings, there in the shrubbery near the trunk of the willow- tree? |
22354 | Do you think I was born this year? |
22354 | Do you think I''ll tear one of my legs off to satisfy you? |
22354 | Exceptional nature-- what is an exceptional nature? |
22354 | Fast? |
22354 | Good- morning,he said,"a real wind- storm-- a pretty strong draught, do n''t you think, or-- no? |
22354 | Great, do n''t you think? |
22354 | Had n''t we better hide? |
22354 | Have human beings a sting? |
22354 | Have human beings such immense eyes? |
22354 | Have you a sucking- disk? |
22354 | Have you ever seen the like, and before daytime too? |
22354 | Here,he said at last,"you''ve certainly flown over the smooth surface of water, have n''t you? |
22354 | Horrible,whispered Maya.--"What_ is_ a pen- knife?" |
22354 | How about your sting? |
22354 | How are you feeling, little girl? |
22354 | How are your children? |
22354 | How can one fly fast enough? 22354 How could this thing have happened to us? |
22354 | How did the song of the sprite go? |
22354 | How did you find all this out? |
22354 | How did you sleep? 22354 How do you do, again?" |
22354 | How do you find the form? |
22354 | How do you like your free- lancing? 22354 How many are there?" |
22354 | I am only a sprite, a flower- sprite.-- But, dear little bee, what are you doing out here in the meadow so late at night? |
22354 | I could n''t accept what you say just so, could I? 22354 I do n''t understand.-- Is our new- found happiness to be wrecked by such nonsense? |
22354 | I? 22354 In my heart right away? |
22354 | Is n''t it rather useless? |
22354 | Is n''t there noise enough as it is? |
22354 | Is the bat still abroad, or has he gone to rest? |
22354 | Is there any objection to a person''s just resting here a moment or two? |
22354 | Just what do you mean? |
22354 | May I ask who you are? 22354 May I offer you some?" |
22354 | Maya? 22354 Maybe.-- To what nation do you belong?" |
22354 | Must an enemy always be bad? |
22354 | No,said Maya, all in a quiver,"no, I do n''t think I can.-- Honey, perhaps?" |
22354 | Not flying to- day? |
22354 | Oh my, did you see human beings? |
22354 | Oh, Bobbie, can you tear these threads? |
22354 | Oh, what is going to happen? 22354 Shall I carry you part of the way?" |
22354 | Shall I fly away? |
22354 | So now you know.-- We moved in four days ago, and since we moved in, it has flourished wonderfully under our care.-- Wo n''t you come in? |
22354 | So you''re a tree- cricket? |
22354 | Then you have n''t got a wish? 22354 Then you were once another sprite?" |
22354 | Those whom fate has rent asunder, let no man join together again,he observed.--"Who are you?" |
22354 | Too big? 22354 Was it still moving?" |
22354 | Well, mademoiselle,he said to Maya, evidently annoyed by her surprised expression,"never seen a grasshopper before? |
22354 | Well? |
22354 | Well? |
22354 | Well? |
22354 | Well?-- Well? 22354 Were they eaten up?" |
22354 | What are Schiller and Goethe? |
22354 | What are you doing here on my leaf? |
22354 | What are you doing here? 22354 What are you doing here?" |
22354 | What can I go by? |
22354 | What did he die of? |
22354 | What do you mean by that? |
22354 | What else do you take me for? |
22354 | What good would it do if I observed differences that exist only in people''s imagination? 22354 What is it going to say this time?" |
22354 | What is this wonderful flower? |
22354 | What right have you to break my net? |
22354 | What sort of a crawling creature are you? |
22354 | What''s a mirror? 22354 What-- borer?" |
22354 | Where are the hornets? |
22354 | Where are you then? 22354 Where did you wound it? |
22354 | Where is all that water flowing to? |
22354 | Who are you? |
22354 | Who is Cassandra? 22354 Who is crying?" |
22354 | Who is your companion? |
22354 | Who was that? |
22354 | Who_ are_ you? |
22354 | Why do you laugh? |
22354 | Why should I? |
22354 | Why take up with a stink- bug? |
22354 | Why, little one? |
22354 | Why, what''s the matter, child? |
22354 | Why? 22354 Why?" |
22354 | Will it die? |
22354 | Will you keep your word? |
22354 | Would you be good enough to tell me its name? |
22354 | Would you be good enough,he asked,"to give us a little light? |
22354 | Yes, ca n''t you understand why? |
22354 | You are one of us, and we do n''t know you? |
22354 | You grew up among human beings? |
22354 | You have come with an important message? 22354 You mean I''m to count your dots?" |
22354 | You saw me? |
22354 | You seem to be only of yesterday? |
22354 | _ What_ is pushing and pulling me? 22354 A boy once threw a net over him, a net fastened to a long pole.-- Who would dream of a thing like that? 22354 A hole, did you say? 22354 Am I right? |
22354 | Am I right?" |
22354 | And how could she do this thing and not perish? |
22354 | And the brigands, did they not see in the shadow, to right and left, the soldiers drawn up in close, glittering ranks ready for mortal combat...? |
22354 | And were n''t there still some trees in bloom? |
22354 | And why do the statues stand under the mirror?" |
22354 | Are we not a more powerful people than the bees? |
22354 | Are you bees any better? |
22354 | Are you going already?" |
22354 | Are you listening?" |
22354 | But God''s will be done.-- Who are you?" |
22354 | But had n''t the sentinel mentioned a name? |
22354 | But how about us bark- beetles? |
22354 | But what can you do? |
22354 | Ca n''t you hop, too?" |
22354 | Ca n''t you understand a joke, a mere joke? |
22354 | Can you imagine doing such a thing?" |
22354 | Can_ you_ read the future? |
22354 | Could such a thing be? |
22354 | Did he, then, understand their language? |
22354 | Did n''t I tell you you would n''t have anything to say?" |
22354 | Did n''t you know_ that_? |
22354 | Did you just wake up?" |
22354 | Do n''t you agree with me?" |
22354 | Do n''t you know what''s over there in the big willow?" |
22354 | Do n''t you?" |
22354 | Do you actually think that human beings are good? |
22354 | Do you know the ancient linden- trees near the castle? |
22354 | Do you mean to insult me?" |
22354 | Do you take me to be as big a dunce as yourself? |
22354 | Do you usually have eight legs?" |
22354 | Do you want to drive me away?" |
22354 | Does n''t it fill you with enthusiasm?" |
22354 | Everybody has to live, does n''t he? |
22354 | Had n''t Cassandra said:"If you sting a human being, you will die?" |
22354 | Had n''t he said something about someone''s having been unfaithful to him? |
22354 | Had she not reached the very heart of his realm? |
22354 | Have n''t I got strength and courage and a sting?" |
22354 | Have n''t you often noticed that the veils shine white as though a light were inside them? |
22354 | Have you been sitting there long?" |
22354 | Have you far to go?" |
22354 | Have you got a family?" |
22354 | He comes when twilight falls and snouts in the grass looking for dead bodies.-- But do you associate with the hedgehog? |
22354 | He zigzagged about in his flurried way for a while, then asked:"You do n''t happen to have any honey with you, do you, my dear?" |
22354 | He''s too big, is n''t he?" |
22354 | How can I face the queen after this defeat?" |
22354 | How could she have been so bold? |
22354 | How could you screw up your courage to sting it? |
22354 | How could you? |
22354 | How did you sleep, my precious-- my all?" |
22354 | How do you think we feel? |
22354 | How was she to know whether or not the owner would like it? |
22354 | However, human beings make an honest effort.-- Is there anything else you''d like to ask? |
22354 | I had taken a drink already and my wife never drinks water, she has kidney trouble.-- What are you doing here?" |
22354 | I have nothing against the bees.-- Why are you sitting about? |
22354 | I will do what I can.-- Wo n''t the great beast with you hurt me?" |
22354 | If I bend a blade of grass over and reach the tip of it to you, will you be able to use it and save yourself?" |
22354 | If_ we_ ca n''t stand on our own feet, who should?" |
22354 | In a quiver of fury he cried again:"How could this thing have happened to us? |
22354 | Indeed... you live by day, do n''t you? |
22354 | Is n''t the world big enough for you? |
22354 | Is what?" |
22354 | Just so he does n''t live off me, what do I care?" |
22354 | May I introduce myself? |
22354 | Maya asked:"Have you finished up there?" |
22354 | Maya watched its antics in the sunshine, then approached it and said politely:"How do you do? |
22354 | My deepest respects.-- There was a revolution in your kingdom not so long ago, was n''t there? |
22354 | No one has ever felt as sad and solemn as I did then.-- Have you ever had a sorrow in your life? |
22354 | Now who would be so afraid of death? |
22354 | Of what value could the experiences of so low, so vulgar a creature be to serious- minded people? |
22354 | Or are you laying eggs?" |
22354 | Shall I tell you?" |
22354 | Should he yield to prudence or to his lust for pillage? |
22354 | So she said prudently:"Who is Loveydear, if I may ask?" |
22354 | So where''s the difference? |
22354 | Suddenly she felt herself being whirled round and round on the same spot, till she got dizzy and sick and had to close her eyes.-- But what was that? |
22354 | That would be-- that is....""Is what? |
22354 | That''s perfectly natural, is n''t it?" |
22354 | The Queen''s Friend 218 LIST OF COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS"Wo n''t you come in?" |
22354 | The little bee was thinking of something the sprite had said, and as they clambered up the vine, she asked:"Do human beings dream when they sleep?" |
22354 | There''s some advantage in staying in one place, too, do n''t you think?" |
22354 | Was dawn coming already? |
22354 | Was n''t it the season for lindens? |
22354 | Was she dumb with horror, had her voice failed her? |
22354 | Was that a stink- bug?" |
22354 | We never run away unless it is better to run away, and then we always come back.-- Have you ever sat on a human being?" |
22354 | We poets would not get very far that way.-- Have you time?" |
22354 | Well, well.-- Why not?" |
22354 | Well, what do you think?" |
22354 | Well, what of it? |
22354 | Well? |
22354 | Well? |
22354 | Well?" |
22354 | Well?" |
22354 | Were n''t there hundreds of others? |
22354 | What am I going to see now?" |
22354 | What did he mean, what could he possibly mean? |
22354 | What difference does his size make? |
22354 | What do you do? |
22354 | What do_ you_ care_ what_ people say? |
22354 | What do_ you_ do that''s useful?" |
22354 | What good would a family do me? |
22354 | What good would it do us if we destroyed the whole hive, and none of us came back alive?" |
22354 | What if the queen and the soldiers were still asleep? |
22354 | What or why the world may be Who can guess or know? |
22354 | What shall I do? |
22354 | What shall I do?" |
22354 | What was she to do? |
22354 | What would she do, how could she find something to eat? |
22354 | Where do you keep coming from?" |
22354 | Where do you live?" |
22354 | Who are you? |
22354 | Who are you?" |
22354 | Who but a bee would overestimate human beings like that? |
22354 | Who is she, if I may make so bold as to ask? |
22354 | Who was there to hear? |
22354 | Who would take such an impractical view of the world as you do? |
22354 | Why did I leave you? |
22354 | Why did you scream?" |
22354 | Why do you disturb a peaceful recluse?" |
22354 | Why not? |
22354 | Why should I? |
22354 | Why should she be? |
22354 | Why so silent all of a sudden?" |
22354 | Why_ know_ everything? |
22354 | Why_ need_ everything be explained? |
22354 | Wonderful, simply wonderful!-- Do you understand the language of human beings?" |
22354 | Would you care to have a complimentary ticket and watch the games? |
22354 | Would you like to see the other side?" |
22354 | Would you?" |
22354 | You are a fly, are you not?" |
22354 | You are an angel, are n''t you? |
22354 | You are of a different opinion?" |
22354 | You doubt it, do n''t you?" |
22354 | You fat lump, what are you doing with my prey?" |
22354 | You know Loveydear? |
22354 | You know they do, do n''t you?" |
22354 | You want to know, do you, on account of your companion?" |
22354 | You want to, do n''t you?" |
22354 | You''re probably very young still?" |
22354 | _ What_ do you doubt?" |
22354 | _ What_ is an offen leg?" |
