I took his hand in mine to kiss it, but this he would not permit. "Shake hands like a man," he said, "or else kiss me upon the cheek. My hand is for young, blue-painted flittermice to kiss, for whose souls' good it is to put their lips to the hand that has shifted the meal-bags." And with that Prince Karl embraced me heartily, and kissed me on both cheeks.
Robin ran up, made as though to draw him out by the hand, took off his ring, and fled. Meanwhile, Sulpice, sitting motionless on the bank with his arms crossed, said: "Modernus is making a bad end. I can see six devils, in the form of flittermice, ready to seize his soul as it comes out of his mouth."
Have you observed those of the Princess?" said he, abruptly changing the subject. "The Princess's flittermice?" I faltered, not well knowing what I said, for he had turned roughly and suddenly upon me. "Aye, marry, you may say it! But I meant the Princess's wilicoats!" "No," said I, as curtly as I could, for the subject had its obvious limitations.
"Birds gived awver singin', Flittermice was wingin', Mists lay on the meadows A purty sight to see. Down-long in the dimpsy, the dimpsy, the dimpsy, Down-long in the dimpsy Theer went a maid wi' me. "Five gude mile o' walkin', Not wan word o' talkin', Then I axed a question And put the same to she.
Prince Karl the Miller's Son was silent a moment. "But I am still looking out for another man with a head-piece to come after me. I have no son, and if I had, the chances are ten to one that he would be either a milksop or a flittermouse painted blue. Milksops I hate, and send to the monkeries. I can endure flittermice painted blue, but they must wear petticoats and pretty petticoats too.
On the upper terrace I found Von Reuss, lolling against the parapet with other blue flittermice, his peers he himself no flittermouse, indeed, but of the true Casimir vampire breed, horrid of tooth, nocturnal, desirous of lusts and blood. At sight of him I went straight at mine enemy, as if I had been leading a charge. "Sir," said I, "you are a base rascal.
It is only here that fish no bigger than trout kill swimmers, and bats the size of the ordinary "flittermice" of the northern hemisphere drain the life-blood of big beasts and of man himself. There was not much large mammalian life in the neighborhood. Kermit hunted industriously and brought in an occasional armadillo, coati, or agouti for the naturalists.
Their nocturnal habits and our consequent ignorance of their characteristics are the only causes which can account for their being associated with the realm of Satan. In some places bats are called flittermice, but they are more nearly related to moles, shrews, and other insect-eaters than they are to mice.
