Often enough these innovations were not due to the cleverness of man's brain. He simply copied the animals. You know of course that there are a large number of beasties who prepare for the long winter by burying nuts and acorns and other food which is abundant during the summer.
An' though as ye told me, 'tain't the thing to say no prayers for beasties which is worldly goods, I makes a venture to arsk ye if ye'll step round to the farm to-morrer, jest to please Mattie my darter, an' take a look at the finest litter o' pigs as ever was seen in this county, barrin' none!
Some drink beer, and drink a good deal, but Choslullah thought it 'very wrong for Malay people, and not good for Christian people, to be drunk beasties; little wine or beer good for Christians, but not too plenty much. I gave him ten shillings for himself, at which he was enchanted, and again begged me to write to his master for him when I wanted to leave Caledon, and to be sure to say, 'Mind send same coachman. He planned to drive me back through Worcester, Burnt Vley, Paarl, and Stellenbosch a longer round; but he could do it in three days well, so as 'not cost Missus more money', and see a different country.
But nothing could win away Tam from the love of the beasties; and in the end, he had his own way, and lived all his life, as he himself afterwards beautifully put it, "a fool to nature." Too often, unhappily, fathers and mothers thus try to check the best impulses in their children, under mistaken notions of right, and especially is this the case in many instances as regards the love of nature.
'What for suld I do that? He is nae countryman of mine one side French and the other Irish. He is naught to me. 'He is heir to a noble house, waged Arthur. 'They will reward you amply for saving him. 'Mair like to girn at me for a Moor. Na, na! Hae na I dune enough for ye, Maister Arthur giving half my beasties, and more than half my silver? Canna ye be content without that whining bairn?
I'm sick to death of hearing the life-story of every Indian insect for the hundredth time. I'll dream of coleoptera and Polly 'optera and other weird beasties to-night." The other officers looked up and laughed. Ross rose from the bridge-table and said: "Come and take my place, sir; we've finished the rubber. Have a drink; you want something to cheer you up after that infliction.
It was on the green at Aberdeen, surrounded by small labourers' cottages, that Thomas Edward passed his early days. From his babyhood, almost, the boy had a strong love for all the beasties he saw everywhere around him; a fondness for birds and animals, and a habit of taming them which can seldom be acquired, but which seems with some people to come instinctively by nature.
He's going to ride into the city when I start and none of the boys sleep in the stable. I kind of suspicion your plan but I won't ask no more questions." At eight-thirty the first "batch o' beasties" "shoved off." The girls ran down the driveway to bid them good-bye and the horses seemed to understand it all perfectly. Then Bolivar and his charges, accompanied by Shelby, set forth upon their ways.
"Anne," said Stella severely, "do you own that animal?" "No, I do NOT," protested disgusted Anne. "The creature followed me home from somewhere. I couldn't get rid of him. Ugh, get down. I like decent cats reasonably well; but I don't like beasties of your complexion." Pussy, however, refused to get down. He coolly curled up in Anne's lap and began to purr.
Then there were sharper hisses, as though some strange creature was trying to send a coded message through the noisy hydrogen background. "It's a message of some kind," Rick stated. "I'll bet on it." "Who sends messages from space?" Scotty asked with a grin. "Ghouls, ghosties, or long-legged beasties?" "Don't laugh," Rick said impatiently. "Didn't you ever hear of Project Ozma?" Scotty hadn't.
