Now, if you would give us some old burnt bones, pounded up fine, or a little lime, once in awhile, I do not think you would lose anything by it. And as you will not let us go out to scratch for ourselves, what is the reason that you cannot dig us a few worms occasionally? It would be a great treat to us. I hope you will heed my suggestions.
The soldier that clapped Luther on the back as he was going into the Diet of Worms, and said, 'You have a bigger fight to fight than we ever had; cheer up, little monk! stands on the same level as the great reformer, if what he did was done from the game motive and with as full consecration of himself.
"Just imagine such a monster anywhere in this country, and at once we could get a sort of idea of the 'worms, which possibly did frequent the great morasses which spread round the mouths of many of the great European rivers."

All the larvæ of insects are therefore like one another, and like worms also, in certain fundamental characters of internal and external structure; so the conclusion that the whole group of insects has arisen by evolution from more primitive ancestors resembling the worms of to-day is based upon mutually explanatory details of comparative anatomy and embryology.
These, at the fourth stage, became so large that the foliage was entirely devoured, and, of course, the consequence was that all the worms were starved.
And her wit has deserted her! Oh, it is awful!" "You don't know," said Valerie, "what death is; what it is to be obliged to think of the morrow of your last day on earth, and of what is to be found in the grave. Worms for the body and for the soul, what? Lisbeth, I know there is another life! And I am given over to terrors which prevent my feeling the pangs of my decomposing body.
