"I can't believe it without proof." "Do you think I'll tear one of my legs off to satisfy you?" Hannibal's tone was ugly. "I see you're not a fit person to associate with. Nobody, I'd like you to know, nobody has ever doubted my word before." Maya was terribly put out. She couldn't understand what had upset the daddy-long-legs so, or what dreadful thing she had done.
The peep-hole commanded the tree, and she watched with eager eyes the filling of the basket to be sent her, planning the while a charming note of thanks. "Do look, Miss; they are resting now, and she's on his knee. Ain't it a pretty picter?" whispered Roxy, unmindful of the earwigs, ants, and daddy-long-legs promenading over her as she crouched in her mouldy corner, intent on the view beyond.
On went their daddy-long-legs, as he and Ellis called their car, and soon got up to the Owl. "To-hoo, to-hoo, to-hoo!" cried the directors of the Owl, but the Knight and his Squire pulled away, and the Owl was left astern, and very soon the Green Dragon was overtaken.
It was almost impossible to rouse her to be angry, and that was annoying too in its way. "I suppose," thought Betty, very sleepily now, "that I ought to try to be patient too, but sometimes I really can't." She fell asleep here, and dreamed that Kitty was an immense "daddy-long-legs" flapping and buzzing about in her hair.
"A daddy-long-legs," mischievously suggested another of the group. "No, it's Latin. Is it Ephraim? "Blood-sucking," whispered the real Queen behind the fern. "He is not so far out there. See! see! with what a grace the child holds out her little hand for him to kiss. I doubt me if Elizabeth herself could be more stately. But who comes here?" "I'm Sir Philip Sydney."
"Daddy-long-legs are real smart too. I caught one last night and I said over three times, 'Tell me which way our cow goes or I will kill you, and it pointed in the direction of our pasture lot every time." "You wouldn't really have killed the poor thing, though," exclaimed Alice, who had drawn near to look at the crimson lady-bug. "A daddy-long-legs is such a harmless creature.

"And father said, 'Who's that on my nose? and the daddy-long-legs said, 'It's me, don't you know? And father said, 'Get away off my nose, I don't like you a bit. And the daddy-long-legs said, 'I shan't go away. It's hot on the window, the sun gets in my eyes. I like sitting up here best. So father took a big sofa-cushion and gave his nose ever such a bang!
Which indeed is pleasant hearing. I don't mind dying a bit, if it is my Maker's pleasure; if it would serve any useful purpose; if it would help my country a myriadth part of a millimetre on towards victory. But if it would not matter to the world any more than the demise of a daddy-long-legs, I prefer to live. In fact, I want to live. I have never wanted to live more in all my life.
"Clever little thing, he sees everything, all the butterflies and the dicky-birds and the daddy-long-legs. Don't you, my pretty one?" "What's the good of talking to the cat?" said Adeline. "He doesn't understand a word you say." "He doesn't understand the words, he says, but he feels the feeling ... He was the most beautiful of all the pussies, he was, he was." "Nonsense.
