It was the time of the year when they should have been pairing, but not a thrush's nest was built except this big one, and so Solomon soon ran short of thrushes with which to supply the demand from the mainland. The stout, rather greedy children, who look so well in perambulators but get puffed easily when they walk, were all young thrushes once, and ladies often ask specially for them.
She did not intend to give people any farther chance of pairing her off with Claudius or any one else whom they thought she fancied, and she blamed herself for having given people even the shadow of an idea that such officious party-making would please her. Claudius rose to go. The position was not tenable any longer, and it was his only course.

No doubt that from the mutual necessities of bodily love and the common adventure, the necessary honesties and helps of a joint life, there springs the stoutest, nearest, most enduring and best of human companionship; perhaps only upon that root can the best of mortal comradeship be got; but it does not follow that the mere ordinary coming together and pairing off of men and women is in itself divine or sacramental or anything of the sort.
By return of post he received a pen-and-ink drawing of himself and Clarice 'pairing off. He was figured in the costermonger's dress, with his arm tucked under the girl's, and her hat on his head. Meanwhile Mallinson was still in bed, completely ignorant of the battle which had been waged for the possession of him.
The shell is easily broken; a few strokes of the mandibles, distributed at random, a few kicks are enough to deliver the perfect insect from its fragile prison. In the glass jars in which I kept my Sitares I saw the pairing follow very closely upon the first moments of freedom.
A pairing took place on the 2d of June, and another on the 6th of June. The principal difference between the two species is in the cocoon. The Roylei cocoon is within a very large and tough envelope, while that of Pernyi has no outer envelope at all. The larvae of Roylei I reared did not thrive, and the small number I had only went to the fourth stage, owing to several causes.

The females are most excited by, or prefer pairing with, the more ornamented males, or those which are the best songsters, or play the best antics; but it is obviously probable that they would at the same time prefer the more vigorous and lively males, and this has in some cases been confirmed by actual observation.
