"Can't you answer now when you're spoken to?" Still Chirpy Cricket made no reply. He waved his feelers frantically and tried to jump out of Johnnie Green's grasp. But no matter how fast he moved his six legs, he couldn't get away. "You don't seem to like me," said his captor finally. "You don't act as if you wanted to play with me.... What will you do for me if I let you go?"
"No, I see them," cried the boy, with his face close to the water. "Sea anemones; clusters of them like those I've seen in Cornwall, only ten times as handsome. Look there, too, lying on the patch of sand there, seven or eight, oh! and there's one a five-pointed one, scarlet, crimson, and orange-brown; but they don't seem to have any feelers." "No; those must be star-fish sea stars."
In such circumstances and in the case of such men the sources of crime are always surrounded with obscurity. One is inclined to believe that Charles V., vigilant and active as he was, put out the first feelers.
He had been bursting with questions for the last ten minutes, and had heroically restrained himself. But this was too much for him. "Why, Uncle Andy," he cried. "I thought the Inkmaker was dead. I thought the barracouta had eaten him up, feelers and eyes and all." "Oh, you're a lot too particular!" grumbled Uncle Andy. "This was another Inkmaker, of course.
In addition to this, these wars brought China into conflict with the European colonial powers.

They were about three-quarters of an inch long, and as transparent as the most delicate water-bubbles; they were marked with white and light yellow spots on the forepart of their bodies, and had a few feelers underneath.
The lobster pulled off the candle stump and ate it up, wiped his feelers, and joined the party. The solids were thunder-cakes, egg-cracknels, boiled rice, daikon radishes and macaroni, lotus-root, taro, and side-dishes piled up with flies, worms, bugs and all kinds of bait for the small fry the finny brats that were to eat at the second table.
His movements were like those of some cuttlefish, reaching out blindly with its long feelers and drawing itself up by the power of its tentacles. He shouted a last warning. "Your last chance!" he cried; and now his aim was true, and his purpose inflexible. The only answer was a hurried movement on the part of the climbing man.
Like the phoenix rising from its ashes, the destruction of the little earthly love which even now causes you more pain than pleasure, will permit the ascent of the great love for Him Who is Love incarnate, the love which encompasses the lonely butterfly on the white blossom in the silent, deserted mountain solitude, which lacks no feather on its wings, no tiniest hair on its feelers, as warmly and carefully as the vast, unlimited universe whose duration ends only with eternity."
He smoothed down his feelers and wings and the minute hairs on his black body which were fearfully rumpled; for the girl-bee had laid on good and hard and concluded the operation by running his proboscis in and out several times something new to Maya. "Out of joint, completely out of joint!" he muttered in a pained tone. "Comes of your excited way of doing things. Look. See for yourself.
