43713 | Kane, in his_ Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Ireland_, mentions a specimen taken in Co. Kerry, July 21, 1865; one from near Belfast[ in 1875? |
43713 | Moths( Heterocera) also belong to the same order, and the first point to deal with is how may butterflies be distinguished from moths? |
37009 | Had it been riding around upon the body of the butterfly waiting for the time when she should lay the eggs? |
37009 | How did this tiny creature arrive at this particular place at the particular moment when from its own point of view it was most needed? |
37009 | How is it that the instinct to become lethargic lies dormant in the summer broods of caterpillars and shows itself only in the autumn brood? |
37009 | Is it perhaps due to a reaction to the colder nights of the later season? |
37009 | One of the most interesting questions in regard to these egg parasites is this: How does the tiny parasitic fly find the newly laid egg? |
37009 | Or was it attracted to them from somewhere in the immediate vicinity? |
37009 | Perhaps you ask what is the good of all this complicated arrangement? |
37009 | Who will find out? |
33852 | Acis_) from the common Blues when on the wing? |
33852 | Do we not rather rejoice that it rests from its labours, and that the period of its glorification is at hand? |
33852 | Hyale_( the next species), the males of which are often seen pursuing the lady_ Edusas_? |
33852 | May not, then, this undiscovered sense, whatever may be its nature, reside in the antennæ? |
33852 | Subject a piece of finest human painting to the scrutiny of a strong magnifying glass, and where is the beauty thereof? |
33852 | What is to be done with our new- born Machaon? |
33852 | What of that? |
33852 | Whence came all these? |
33852 | Wherein do these wings chiefly differ from all other insect wings? |
33852 | Yet, is it really dead now, or do we, who have watched the creature thus far, despair and call it lost? |
61981 | Is that a British butterfly? |
61981 | Are they like birds''eggs? |
61981 | Could it not evolve a method of securing its eggs so that the young caterpillars might have a fair chance of survival when ushered into the world? |
61981 | He could fly over it? |
61981 | I wonder what his name might have been had he been common north of the Tweed, and not known in the South? |
61981 | It''s clever, though, is n''t it? |
61981 | The Small Tortoiseshell is a hibernating species, but why does it not deposit its eggs in the autumn, and go the way of all flesh and butterflies? |
61981 | What would be the fate of these eggs if laid in the autumn? |
61981 | Who can tell? |
42606 | And since it is profitable to all concerned what more natural than that it should be brought about by natural selection? |
42606 | At what rate will this change in the population take place? |
42606 | But is it true? |
42606 | Have we any grounds for supposing that populations of this sort can undergo such rapid changes? |
42606 | What advantage then can an Ithomiine be supposed to gain by mimicking a Heliconine, or_ vice versâ_? |
42606 | What advantage then have the Ithomiines over the majority of butterflies in those parts? |
42606 | Why is it that when the altered germplasm is mingled with the original germplasm the various postulated stages between them are not reformed? |
42606 | Why need we suppose that there were intermediate stages between the mimicking female and the original hypothetical female which was like the male? |
42606 | Why should a species exchange its own bright and conspicuous warning pattern for one which is neither brighter nor more conspicuous? |
42606 | Will natural selection really serve to explain all? |
42606 | Yet if one is better off than the others, how is it that these still exist? |
42606 | hector_? |
34131 | ''But,''the reader may be inclined to ask,''why should we not be satisfied with the one popular name only?'' |
34131 | ''Is n''t_ that_ one a beauty?'' |
34131 | A boy is often easily surprised by a playmate who approaches him stealthily from behind, but did you ever try the same game with a butterfly? |
34131 | Are we looking at a deformity?--a failure on the part of Nature to produce what she ought? |
34131 | But how is this to be done? |
34131 | But how many facets do we find in a single eye? |
34131 | But how will the caterpillar proceed if it is removed from its native tree and has no bark to gnaw? |
34131 | But what if you give it_ nothing_ with which to work, and so inclose it that nothing its jaws can pierce is within its reach? |
34131 | But why not call them legs, seeing that they are used in walking? |
34131 | Did we not say only a few minutes since, that a beautiful butterfly or moth was about to emerge? |
34131 | Does the female herself derive any benefit from the particular plant chosen for this purpose? |
34131 | Has the perfect insect any selfish motive in this apparently careful selection of a plant on which to lay its eggs? |
34131 | How shall we account for the fact that the specimens so kindly sent us by our friends are generally moths? |
34131 | How, then, is this? |
34131 | Is it because moths are more numerous and more frequently seen? |
34131 | Is it due to a poorness of the soil? |
34131 | Shall the boards be perfectly flat on the top, or shall the sides slope from the groove, or shall the surface be rounded? |
34131 | The mournful thought with them is,''Is life worth living?'' |
34131 | The question is-- How shall we set to work about the construction of a collecting box? |
34131 | What will it do now? |
34131 | Why not allow the poor creatures to reach the sugar that attracted them to the spot? |
34131 | but who ever heard such an expression from the lips of an active entomologist? |
21322 | And what do you think? 21322 And what, pray tell, have you been talking about all this time?" |
21322 | And who is he, I should like to know? 21322 Are n''t you going to look at Betsy''s picture yourself?" |
21322 | Are you sure about that? |
21322 | Are you sure it was n''t yourself that you heard? |
21322 | Are you sure she will let you take the picture? |
21322 | Are you sure? |
21322 | But was n''t it some time ago that you were an artist? |
21322 | Butter? 21322 Ca n''t you explain my sad case to Betsy Butterfly?" |
21322 | Ca n''t you think of some plan by which I could meet Betsy Butterfly? |
21322 | Can a person tell by doing that? |
21322 | Did she ask him for it? |
21322 | Did you get it? |
21322 | Do n''t you hear that buzzing? 21322 Do n''t you know him?" |
21322 | Do n''t you know your cousin? |
21322 | Do n''t you see that Mrs. Ladybug is not quite herself? |
21322 | Do you know what you did? |
21322 | Do you like butter? |
21322 | Do you suppose she''ll send me the picture, if I ask her, so I can show it to Dusty Moth? |
21322 | Do_ you_ like butter? |
21322 | Has n''t this been a lovely day? |
21322 | Have you forgotten how anxious you were to meet the lady? |
21322 | How about eggs, then? |
21322 | How does it happen,she asked Joseph at last,"that I never find you with your cousin? |
21322 | I suppose if Buster Bumblebee were at this party you''d be glad to talk with him? |
21322 | I suppose you know the plant, do n''t you? |
21322 | Is my face yellow? |
21322 | Is that so? |
21322 | Is that so? |
21322 | So that''s the charming Betsy Butterfly, eh? |
21322 | So you looked into a buttercup to find out, eh? |
21322 | So you''ve seen me eating butter, have you? |
21322 | The blossoms are fine and fresh after last night''s shower, are n''t they? |
21322 | There''s nothing wrong, I hope? |
21322 | Well, will you promise to stop pestering me about Betsy Butterfly if I let you see this picture of her? |
21322 | Well, you think Betsy Butterfly is beautiful, do n''t you? |
21322 | Well-- what do you want now? |
21322 | What do you think we ought to do now? |
21322 | What have you to say now, my fine lady? |
21322 | What is it? |
21322 | What steps do you think we ought to take to prevent Betsy from eating any more butter and eggs that do n''t belong to her? |
21322 | What''s the matter? |
21322 | What''s the rest of it? |
21322 | What''s your name, anyhow? |
21322 | What_ do_ you mean? |
21322 | What_ is_ his full name? |
21322 | Where did you see me doing that? |
21322 | Where is it? 21322 Who are you?" |
21322 | Who interrupted you? |
21322 | Who-- me? |
21322 | Why, what do you mean? |
21322 | You mean--gasped Freddie Firefly--"you mean that Betsy Butterfly was once an ugly caterpillar?" |
21322 | Your house has n''t burned? |
21322 | And Dusty Moth immediately cried:"Have you heard from her?" |
21322 | And as for eggs, how could I ever break through an egg- shell?" |
21322 | And if you go sailing off the way you do, how''s he ever going to tell the whole message until it''s too late, perhaps?" |
21322 | And what do you think? |
21322 | Are n''t you friends?" |
21322 | Betsy asked anxiously,"Is his trouble catching?" |
21322 | Bumble?" |
21322 | Can it be possible that the airs she gives herself, and her fine manners, have deceived you?" |
21322 | DO YOU LIKE BUTTER? |
21322 | Did you tell her how untidy she looked?" |
21322 | Do n''t you suppose I know my own voice when I hear it?" |
21322 | If you could look at her picture once you''d be satisfied, would n''t you?" |
21322 | Miss Moth looked more uneasy than ever, especially when Mrs. Ladybug said:"Would n''t you like to come with me while I look for Betsy?" |
21322 | Owl?" |
21322 | That unshaven stranger in the yellowish- brown suit?" |
21322 | VIII DO YOU LIKE BUTTER? |
21322 | When she met Mehitable Moth or Mrs. Ladybug she always said,"How do you do?" |
21322 | Why should n''t she, I should like to know? |
21322 | and"Is n''t this a_ lovely_ day?" |

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? |
40214 | And I suppose you have never seen any nests or eggs? |
40214 | And how did you sleep last night? 40214 And what are pupæ?" |
40214 | And what is the fearfully ugly thing climbing up that reed- stem just out of the water? |
40214 | And what shall we do then? |
40214 | And when do they leave? |
40214 | And you know what shoals of perch there are about the broad, and how difficult it is to drop upon them, because the water is so shallow and clear? |
40214 | Are snake- bites fatal? |
40214 | Are you hurt, old man? |
40214 | Are you ready? |
40214 | Are you sure it was a purple emperor? 40214 But Frank, how can you-- how can anybody eat beef without salt?" |
40214 | But how are we to catch the water- hen? |
40214 | But may I ask what you are doing? |
40214 | Ca n''t we break a passage through? |
40214 | Can it see? |
40214 | Can you give us a drink of water, ma''am? |
40214 | Dick, why do n''t you shoot? |
40214 | Did n''t I? |
40214 | Did you ever meet with any accident while eel- fishing? |
40214 | Did you ever notice how much insect- life there is in an oak- tree? |
40214 | Did you ever see the like of that before? |
40214 | Did you ever see the little eels coming up the river in the spring? |
40214 | Did you ever see two uglier fellows than our boatmen? |
40214 | Do gold crests migrate? |
40214 | Do n''t the wherries ever do any damage to the nets? |
40214 | Do n''t you know? |
40214 | Do n''t you think there may be a ruff''s nest somewhere about? |
40214 | Do what? |
40214 | Do you know that the water we are sailing on is higher than the marshes around us? |
40214 | Do you mind my losing them, Frank? |
40214 | Do you often have such a good night as this? |
40214 | Do you really think she will have any chance, Frank? |
40214 | Hallo, that is not a corn- crake, is it? |
40214 | Have you ever found its nest? |
40214 | Have you ever seen any bustards about? |
40214 | Have you ever seen any bustards''eggs? |
40214 | Have you ever seen those huge stag- beetles with long horny mandibles like stag''s horns? |
40214 | Have you got a mat to kneel upon, so as not to catch cold? |
40214 | How could you, Frank? |
40214 | How did you know about the olive- oil being a cure, Frank? |
40214 | How do you feel, old man? |
40214 | How many are there? |
40214 | How many eggs do you get? |
40214 | How many times a minute do you think he flaps them? |
40214 | How shall we get at them? |
40214 | How? 40214 I did not know that before; but if the caterpillars feed on leaves, how is it that you dig those from the ground?" |
40214 | I say,said Frank,"is not that steamer standing too close in shore? |
40214 | I say,said Frank,"you remember when the minnows ran at the caddis- worms in their transparent cases, but could not eat them?" |
40214 | I suppose you have n''t got any of their eggs now? |
40214 | I suppose you were setting your snares last night? |
40214 | If the eels breed in the sea, Frank,said Dick,"what do the eels do which can not get to the sea,--those which live in ponds?" |
40214 | Is it a crow''s, or an old wood- pigeon''s, or a hawk''s? 40214 Is it not dreadfully windy?" |
40214 | Is that a crow''s nest in yonder tree? |
40214 | Is that a pintail duck? |
40214 | Is that true? |
40214 | Is there any one on board, did you see? |
40214 | It is a good idea and no mistake-- but can we do that? |
40214 | Its nest must be in that hole; but what is it picking from the ground? |
40214 | No, is it? |
40214 | No-- but what are they staring at that steamer so hard for? |
40214 | No; have you? |
40214 | Now what is the meaning of this? |
40214 | Now, Frank,said Jimmy plaintively,"what_ are_ you going to do with that young larch- tree? |
40214 | Now, Miss Merivale, will you come to the greenhouses and show me how to get some butterfly chrysalides? 40214 Now, can you tell me the plain English of that?" |
40214 | Oh, so that is the secret of their wandering, is it? 40214 Poor thing, how did it get into that fix?" |
40214 | Shall we explore Ranworth Broad? |
40214 | Shall we tell her Jimmy? |
40214 | Shall we venture or not? |
40214 | Talking about salt- mines, have you ever been down one? |
40214 | That is my idea,said Jimmy;"but what is the good of using such stilted language, when the same thing might have been said in simple English?" |
40214 | That''s all right; and where are you going? |
40214 | The salt? |
40214 | Their own bodies must supply the glue which fastens the pieces of gravel or glass together? |
40214 | Then what would you say to putting a quantity of minnows in glass bottles, and sinking them in the broad, in a good place, for two or three days? 40214 There is no such thing as_ ignis fatuus_ nowadays,"said Jimmy,"so what can it be?" |
40214 | They are very pretty things to be caused by a dirty little grub,said Jimmy;"and pray what causes this cuckoo- spit?" |
40214 | Those are not lapwings flying above us, are they? |
40214 | Very well,said Jimmy;"but can we get the worsted?" |
40214 | Very,said Frank, as soon as he could speak for laughing;"but had n''t you better dive after the eels?" |
40214 | Well, but do you think his grandmother can afford it? 40214 Well, merry Mary Merivale,"said Frank,"is the pater in?" |
40214 | What are all these plans and drawings for? |
40214 | What are they going to fly the hawks at? |
40214 | What are they in that peculiar position for? |
40214 | What are they? |
40214 | What are you going to do with them? |
40214 | What are you going to do with those axes and that rope, Frank? |
40214 | What are you laughing at, Dick? |
40214 | What bird is that, Jimmy? |
40214 | What bird is that? 40214 What butterfly is that?" |
40214 | What can it be? |
40214 | What can they be? |
40214 | What do you do with the eels? |
40214 | What do you feel inclined to do yourself? |
40214 | What do you mean, sir? 40214 What do you want worsted for?" |
40214 | What for? 40214 What have you been doing Jimmy?" |
40214 | What is it, Frank? |
40214 | What is it? |
40214 | What is it? |
40214 | What is that one? |
40214 | What is that partridge calling for? |
40214 | What is that? |
40214 | What is the matter, Dick? |
40214 | What is the matter, Frank? |
40214 | What is the matter? 40214 What is the matter?" |
40214 | What is the meaning of this? |
40214 | What on earth is that buzzing noise? 40214 What on earth is that for, Jimmy?" |
40214 | What on earth is the matter? 40214 What shall we do if they do touch it?" |
40214 | What shall we do now? |
40214 | What shall we try them at first? |
40214 | What sort of a bird is a great bustard? |
40214 | What will you take for them? |
40214 | What''s that? |
40214 | What''s the matter, Jimmy? |
40214 | What''s to be done now? |
40214 | When do the gulls arrive? |
40214 | When you get more conceited, eh, Dick? |
40214 | Where did you learn all this? |
40214 | Where did you set the line? |
40214 | Where have you put the salt, Frank? |
40214 | Who''s won? |
40214 | Why do the black- headed gulls breed at Hingham, which is an inland place? 40214 Why does n''t Marston quicken?" |
40214 | Why should we not bob for eels to- night? 40214 Will no one make me a bid? |
40214 | Will you sell them? |
40214 | Wo n''t it bite? |
40214 | Would n''t it be safer if we were not to be on board during the race? 40214 Yes, why not? |
40214 | Yes; does it pay? |
40214 | Yes; what of them? |
40214 | You spoke of collecting the eggs,said Dick to the keeper;"what do you do with them?" |
40214 | Am I a coward?" |
40214 | And Frank, what are you going to be?" |
40214 | Are n''t you astonished?" |
40214 | Are there many ruffs about here?" |
40214 | Are you all right?" |
40214 | Are you game?" |
40214 | As the blow vibrated through the tree, the sitting bird flew off, and what do you think it proved to be? |
40214 | At last Mary caught sight of him, and rising, she said--"I hope we are not trespassing?" |
40214 | Besides, how are we to get a yacht?" |
40214 | But a few words must be devoted to the preliminary question: What is a fern? |
40214 | But how can the needful contact between the germs and the fertilizing bodies be brought about? |
40214 | But if I do something which will show that I am of some use in the world, and not a mere drone, will you marry me?" |
40214 | But what is that?" |
40214 | But where is Florrie?" |
40214 | But would n''t you like a cup of milk better than water?" |
40214 | Can you give us some?" |
40214 | Can you name them, Jimmy?--and how many different kinds of grasses are there?" |
40214 | Dick awoke from a dream of Arctic exploration, and cried out,--"Is that a grizzly bear?" |
40214 | Dick had been trembling for some time in his nervousness, and he thought somewhat bitterly,"What is the matter with me? |
40214 | Dick said,--"Is it not wonderful that the butterfly knows on which plant she is to lay her eggs? |
40214 | Do n''t we, Florrie?" |
40214 | Do n''t you know the difference between a snake and a viper? |
40214 | Do n''t you think it a grand dodge?" |
40214 | Do n''t you wish you could send a long floating thread from your stomach, Jimmy, and sail away over the marshes? |
40214 | Do n''t you?" |
40214 | Do you know him?" |
40214 | Frank marched up to the house and knocked, and when the door was opened by a woman, said,"Please can you let us have a hank of worsted? |
40214 | Frank played and then asked,"Is not that bird a nightingale?" |
40214 | Frank said,"What shall we do with the bird? |
40214 | Had we better fix the nest or leave it alone?" |
40214 | Have not you a nose, Jimmy?" |
40214 | Have the sparrows taken possession of it?" |
40214 | Have you both gone crazy?" |
40214 | Have you only now discovered the joke?" |
40214 | He looked up as his son entered, and said,--"Well, Frank, what is it?" |
40214 | How do you do, my dears? |
40214 | How does it know that if it seems dead you will not touch it, and therefore it may get an opportunity to escape?" |
40214 | How had we better go to work? |
40214 | How is it that they select these plants, seeing that it is all strange and new to them? |
40214 | I say, if my mater saw that tumble, she would not let me go out alone any more, would she? |
40214 | I suppose, therefore, I must follow the fashion, and say,"How d''ye do?" |
40214 | I wonder how the old birds get the young ones down to the water? |
40214 | Is it a big bee, or wasp, or what?" |
40214 | Is it a hair- worm?" |
40214 | Is it possible that they are glow- worms?" |
40214 | Is that a forget- me- not?" |
40214 | Is that true?" |
40214 | It is pretty, is it not? |
40214 | It was evident now that the noise came from it, but how was it produced, and why? |
40214 | It will be an interesting thing to add to our museum, wo n''t it, Jimmy?" |
40214 | Jimmy and Dick rushed out of the cabin, where they had been preparing supper, and said to Frank, who was at the helm,--"What is the matter?" |
40214 | Jimmy began to look rather blue, and said,"Had n''t we better go off after them in a boat, or we shall lose all our lines? |
40214 | Jimmy looked up from his paper just as Frank pulled in a good sized roach, and said,--"Do either of you know how the chameleon changes its colour?" |
40214 | Jimmy said,--"I say, Frank, do you remember all those eel- nets we saw by Horning? |
40214 | Mary said to Jimmy one day,"Will you make me a fern- case? |
40214 | Meredith?" |
40214 | Now, are you ready?" |
40214 | Now, you are a good rower; will you row for us?" |
40214 | On their way they passed a skittle- alley, and Dick said to the man in charge--"Can you show us any birds''nests?" |
40214 | Presently he cried out,--"Do you know that there are animals which never die?" |
40214 | The boys hailed her long and loud, and in answer came the hoarse cry,"Where away?" |
40214 | The keeper said, pointing to some red, hairy masses on a bramble bush,"We call these robins''pincushions; can you tell me what causes them?" |
40214 | The man started and looked round, answering surlily,"What''s that to you?" |
40214 | The sound of oars was now audible across the water, and presently Dick''s voice shouted,--"What''s the matter? |
40214 | They look like bladders, but who would paint bladders red, blue, green, and yellow? |
40214 | Thus you, Frank, may take up Ornithology; you, Dick, should go in for Entomology; and Jimmy, why should you not take up Botany?" |
40214 | Was n''t it very lonely?" |
40214 | Well, I want to preserve the broad for wild- fowl, so I do n''t like it to be disturbed; but where did you get this strange boat built?" |
40214 | What can it be?" |
40214 | What can they be? |
40214 | What do you say to catching a water- hen and baiting our hook with it?" |
40214 | What do you say to paying it a visit?" |
40214 | What do you say? |
40214 | What do you say?" |
40214 | What do you think of that, my boy?" |
40214 | What is it?" |
40214 | What is the reason of that?" |
40214 | What will Sir Richard say, Dick?" |
40214 | What will you sell that ruff for?" |
40214 | When they left the church he went up to her, and taking off his cap, said,"I beg your pardon, but are you not Miss Rose?" |
40214 | Who will go up and see?" |
40214 | Why did n''t you put it up?" |
40214 | Why does she not take long stretches which would take her more swiftly on her course? |
40214 | Will they turn into white butterflies?" |
40214 | Will you come on board our yacht and have some supper?" |
40214 | Will you have some champagne?" |
40214 | Wo n''t you try it again?" |
40214 | Would you like to see them?" |
40214 | You remember how he took the water- hen under? |
40214 | do you see that?" |
40214 | said Frank,"when he can see such things as that?" |
40214 | said Frank;"is that a shrew- mouse or a grasshopper which is making that chirruping noise?" |
40214 | what is that?" |
40214 | you do n''t mean to say that you have used our joint- stock lines?" |
40214 | you there, what are you doing that for?" |
