I don't know whether you have ever seen the eggs of snails; I have not, but I have heard that they are about the size of peas, and are buried in the earth, as the crocodile's eggs are buried in the sand. Of the many families of Ringed or Jointed Animals, we will choose the Crabs and Lobsters first.
He put his wrists together with his palms closed, and then slowly opened them widely in imitation of a crocodile's jaws, and closed them with a snap. "Oh yes," said Rodd, "we have met them, and found out how horny their skins are." "Ugh! Beasts!" said the Spaniard. "Last time I was here they swept two of my men out of a boat, and I never saw them more.
Forthwith we began poking about in all directions with pieces of bamboo a small grove of which grew on the island. "Here is a hole," cried Natty at length, "and full of eggs, too. We will pay the crocodile off now for the fright he gave us." I confess at first I could scarcely bring myself to think of eating crocodile's eggs. Natty had no such scruple.
After this freezing reception, Francis II. conducted the two brothers to his mother, who received them, according to Regnier de la Planche's expression, 'with crocodile's tears. The Guises did not follow them thither, in order to escape any personal dispute, and so as not to be hearers of the severe words which they had themselves dictated to the young monarch.
He refrained, he tells us, from letting Miltitz see that he was aware what crocodile's tears they were. Indeed he was quite prepared, as he had been before under the menaces of a Papal ambassador, so now under his persuasions and entreaties, to yield all that his conscience allowed, but nothing beyond, and then quietly to let matters take their own course.
"Why, he wrenched out that Crocodile's toof!" "Which tooth?" I ventured to ask. But Bruno was not to be puzzled. "The toof he were going to bite the Goat with, a course!" "He couldn't be sure about that," I argued, "unless he wrenched out all its teeth." Bruno laughed merrily, and half sang, as he swung himself backwards and forwards, "He did wrenched out all its teef!"
Crocodile's teeth, and that he was being drawn down, down to a hideous death! But we have stayed much too long in the reptile house, and have not even mentioned the pretty little green frogs and the many other things to be found there. On the other side of the lion house, away from the reptiles, is the sea-lions' pond.
The shark, with a jaw larger and stronger than a crocodile's, with a mouth deeper and more capacious, strikes also with his tail, in tremendous force and rapidity, enabling him to repel any sudden attack by confusing or stunning his foe, till he can turn on his back, which he is obliged to do ere he can use his mouth.
You will always be the companion of my life, the ideal of my heart." Violette was about to reply, when a kind of roaring was heard in the air, and they saw descend a chariot made of crocodile's skin, drawn by fifty enormous toads.
"Jump on one side, sir, jump on one side!" cried Casey to Billy, who followed the advice, and the seaman, levelling his rifle, poured the contents down the crocodile's throat. It immediately rolled over, and after a few struggles lay dead. Tom and Desmond considered it advisable on their return to move further away from the river.
