"Two plants, the thalagssigle and the aglaphotis, are luminous in the evening, flowers by day, stars by night;" and looking steadily at Ursus, "What have you to say to that?" Ursus answered, "Every plant is a lamp. Its perfume is its light." Æacus turned over other pages. "You have denied that the vesicles of the otter are equivalent to castoreum."
"I know where the divine Lygia is living; I will show thee the street and the house." Vinicius repressed the emotion with which that news filled him, and said, "Where is she?" "With Linus, the elder priest of the Christians. She is there with Ursus, who goes as before to the miller, a namesake of thy dispensator Demas. Yes, Demas!
Although there is a variety in colour and size, there is no ambiguity about species or genus. Wherever the English language is spoken, it has but one name, the "raccoon." In America, every man, woman and child knows the "sly ole 'coon." This animal has been placed by naturalists in the family Ursidae, genus Procyon. Linnaeus made it a bear, and classed it with Ursus.
The astonishment with which the villagers regarded this machine was overwhelming. This was the old establishment of Ursus, its proportions augmented by success, and improved from a wretched booth into a theatre. A kind of animal, between dog and wolf, was chained under the van. This was Homo. The old coachman who drove the horses was the philosopher himself.
And clenching his hands in his hair, agonized with fear, stifled with tears, he threw himself at her feet. "My Gwynplaine," said Dea, "it is no fault of mine." There then rose to her lips a red froth, which Ursus wiped away with the fold of her robe, before Gwynplaine, who was prostrate at her feet, could see it.
The change of name was all that could provoke doubt, but Chilo knew that frequently Christians took new names at baptism. "Should Ursus kill Glaucus," said Chilo to himself, "that will be better still; but should he not kill him, that will be a good sign, for it will show how difficult it is for Christians to murder.
Minos was thoughtful, and mumbled, "True, that is the contrary." It was really the same thing. But Ursus had parried the first blow. Minos, meditating on the answer just given by Ursus, sank into the depths of his own imbecility, and kept silent.
The justice of the quorum interrupted his speech to salute Barkilphedro, who returned the bow. "The honourable gentleman who deigns to be present has just arrived from Windsor. He brings orders. Her Majesty has said, 'It must be swept away." Ursus, during his long meditation all night, had not failed to put himself some questions. After all, he had only seen a bier.
The boys therefore were not "bound" by their covenant to procure these varieties; but for all that, they were gratified at going beyond the strict letter of their agreement, which good luck enabled them to do; for while scouring the country in search of the ursus niger, they chanced upon another brown bear, a female, with three cubs, one of which was brown, like the mother; the second had the white ring round its neck, and the third was as grey as a little badger!
Those who acknowledge it, are inclined to regard the Syrian bear as a mere variety of the ursus arctos; but this theory is altogether incorrect. In shape, colour, and many of his habits, the Syrian bear differs essentially from his brown congener; and his dwelling-place instead of being in forest-covered tracts is more generally in open ground or among rocks.
