Try the experiment yourself, reader. Hold out your left arm; clench the fist so as to harden the muscle a little, and write your name on the skin with a blunt pencil or any similar point, in letters say three-quarters of an inch long, pressing firmly enough to feel a little pain. Rub the place briskly a dozen times; this brings out the letters quickly, in tolerably-distinct red lines.
"I have your word for that, but I require better evidence." "What better evidence do you require?" I demanded. He did not notice the remark, but continued, "I see many people every week, and although they have the form of men, they are villains."

If to-morrow brings no relief I want to quit for good and all." But the long weeks of indecisive warfare, in camp as in the field, were destined to have their climax at last.
Larks strung up by the dozen with a wire through their nostrils, Thrushes, Plovers, Teal, Partridges, Snipe, in short, all the glories of the spit which the autumn migration brings us, remain for days and weeks at the mercy of the Flies.
