Jessica wanted to take physical geography, Anne rhetoric, and Grace boldly announced a hankering for zoölogy. "How horrible," shuddered Jessica. "How can you bear to think of cutting up live cats and dogs and angleworms and things." "Oh, you silly," laughed Grace. "You're thinking of vivisection. I wouldn't cut up anything alive for all the world.
Whenever he visited the garden he told everybody that he should never come there again because Grandfather Mole was too greedy. Mr. Blackbird said that Grandfather Mole didn't leave enough angleworms to make it worth his while to fly across the meadow. And one day when he chanced to meet Grandfather Mole he told him that it was a shame, the way he was treating Farmer Green.

I tell you I'm glad to have Lydia get through with her traveling 'round.
Blackbird to see him amuse himself in that fashion, because while he was digging Grandfather Mole lost his chance at a good many angleworms. They found their way quickly down Mr. Blackbird's throat. And it was not long before he was in the best of spirits. Day after day while the spring ploughing went on, the strange pair followed the plough together.
And when the two met one evening Grandfather Mole stopped Mr. Meadow Mouse. "There's something I want to say to you," he remarked. "I notice you're looking extremely well-fed. And I hope you're not eating any of my angleworms." Mr. Meadow Mouse laughed right in Grandfather Mole's face. "Oh, no!" he replied. "Nor any of my grubs or bugs?" Grandfather Mole persisted. "Certainly not!" said Mr.
His fur lay in one direction as easily as in another, never troubling him in the least when he was boring his way through the dry, loose soil of Farmer Green's garden. So in spite of what might seem great drawbacks to others, Grandfather Mole was contented with his lot. The only thing he was ever known to grumble about was the scarcity of angleworms.
Tasper Britt arose in the gray dawn, as usual. Some fishermen, seeking bait, stay up late and "jack" angleworms with a bull's-eye light.
