The revelation of her beauty was in no respect answerable for the breathless astonishment which had held him spell-bound up to this moment.

The Sitares, entrusting their eggs to the very corridors through which the Anthophora is bound to pass, spare their larvae a host of dangers which the larvae of the Meloe have to run, for these, born far from the dwellings of the Bees, are obliged to make their own way to their hymenopterous foster-parents.

And when Satyavan's life had thus been taken out, the body, deprived of breath, and shorn of lustre, and destitute of motion, became unsightly to behold. And binding Satyavan's vital essence, Yama proceeded in a southerly direction. Thereupon, with heart ...

In this country at present there is no mind that can be fairly said to represent a group so lacking in substantial unity as the farming class, and any attempt to construct such a mind is bound to fail.

Indeed, is it not a happy fact that the American farmer is not merely a farmer? Although it complicates a rural problem ...

You can not catch them; for, as your hand approaches a leaf on which they cluster, they scatter with a sudden bound, and are at once lost to view, so nearly do they resemble the color of the ground. Slight dustings of dry wood-ashes impede their feeding somewhat; but I think we must cope with this insect as we do with the Colorado or potato beetle. It must be poisoned.

He repeated aloud, speaking as one does when under the stress ...

Considering the row there'll be afterwards, when Bilkins finds out, we ought to get L10,000. It will be most unpleasant, and it's bound to come. Most of the others will refuse the Order as soon as they hear they've been given it, and Bilkins will storm horribly and say he has been swindled, not that there is any harm in swindling Bilkins. After that egg racket of his he deserves to be swindled. Still it won't be nice ...
