During the first week of August, when the mature Bruchus begins to emerge, I notice a little Chalcidian, the protector of our peas. In my rearing-cages it issues under my eyes in abundance from the peas infested by the grub of the weevil. The female has a reddish head and thorax; the abdomen is black, with a long augur-like oviscapt. The male, a little smaller, is black.

When it was over, and the brothers returned to the hall after putting her into the Duchess's carriage, the younger said to the elder: "She can behave herself, Johnnie." They looked at each other, with their hands in their pockets. A little nod passed between them an augur-like acceptance of this new and irregular member of the family. "Yes, she has excellent manners," said Uredale.
