At last light broke in on him, and he called out: "I see through it now! Yes, I see through it. I have found out the secret now."
He didn't acknowledge them for weeks, and then he said they were most handy things to kill Germans with, but were an expensive form of ammunition. I don't quite know what he meant but at any rate they were not eatable when they arrived. Poor fellow!" She sighed again. "If only I knew what was the matter with him." "It can't be much," I reassured her, "or you would have heard again.
It will be remembered that in my former expedition into the two boxes of cloth while in hopes of finding more biscuits, or something else that was eatable I had ascertained the sort of packages that surrounded them, as well as those that were placed above.
And it was well for those that made the offers that he did refuse them; for every vestige of what was eatable in the house had been devoured, and had he acceded to Mary's reiterated wishes that he would "take jist the laste bit in the world," it would have puzzled her to make good her offer in the most literal sense of the words.

But it doesn't much matter whether you do or don't, for you can't sleep anywhere else. Come; don't keep me here all night!
When walking about a house, or on the deck of a ship, the partially curled tail is carried in a horizontal position on the ground, and the moment it touches anything it twists round it and brings it forward, when, if eatable, it is at once appropriated; and when fastened up the animal will obtain any food that may be out of reach of its hands with the greatest facility, picking up small bits of biscuit, nuts, etc., much as an elephant does with the tip of his trunk.
