As the book is clearly divided into two distinct parts, the first ending with the twelfth chapter and the second beginning with the thirteenth, it is supposed that it was written by Eleazar and Phinehas. But this is admitted to be mere conjecture. It is assumed that it must have been written sometime before the close of David's reign. "Respecting the Authorship of Judges, nothing is known."
As the day was particularly bright and warm, this minor picnic was splendidly carried into effect, in a little coppice close to the house. There Mrs Gordon knitted and sometimes read, and behaved altogether like a particularly "dood chile," while Flo and Blackie carried on high jinks around her.
Mahommed Gunga seized it by the middle, and neither said a word for the moment. In silence Mahommed Gunga drew the blade saw Byng's name engraved close to the hilt recognized the sword, and knew the sender thought and mistook the meaning. "Was there no word?" "None." "Then take this word back.

Let us return to our shrimp colonies and bring a handful to our pool. Drop one in the centre of an anemone and see how quickly it contracts. The tentacles bend over it exactly as the sticky hairs of the sun-dew plant close over a fly. The shrimp struggles for a moment and is then drawn downward out of sight.
