"But, Mr. Frank! " said Jack, who was as superstitious as any old wife, and, what with the darkness and the discourse, already in a cold perspiration. "But me no buts! or depart as recreant, not by the door like a man, but up the chimney like a flittermouse." "But, Mr. Frank!" "Thy vital juice, or the chimney! Choose!" roared Cary in his ear.
Most of the gardens have a few plants of the milky-veined holy thistle good, they say, against inflammations, and in which they have much faith. Soon after the May garlands the meadow orchis comes up, which is called 'dead men's hands, and after that the 'ram's-horn' orchis, which has a twisted petal; and in the evening the bat, which they call flittermouse, appears again.
Milyukof's contention is undoubtedly sound, but it has resulted in a wordy warfare in the columns of Burtsef's "Obshy Delo" and Milyukof's "Posledny Novosti," both Paris daily papers in Russian which keep up a malevolent cross-fire on one another.

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.
