I have watched her. She meets a man she is friends with him, for she talks to him as eagerly as he does to her mamma cannot tell who he is. "'Has my aunt seen him? "'No, not so much as a fly's wing of him. I myself have only seen his back. It strikes me like a familiar back, and yet I cannot think who it is.
Well, when they let us out, the lads were all a-trembling too; for my brother's face, they said, was like the destroying angel; and I was somewhat queer myself, and I was astonished too; for he was kind-hearted, was my brother, and would not hurt a fly's body; much less damn his soul; and, after all, the poor soldiers were not to blame; and 'twas a queer cursing, I thought too, to be done like that; but maybe 'twas a new papal method.
All the mothers abstain, judging the slender obstacle of the paper to be more than the vermin will be able to overcome. This caution on the Fly's part does not at all surprise me: motherhood everywhere has great gleams of perspicacity. What does astonish me is the following result.
His head was throbbing, but he felt a curious sense of elation. He felt that he could stand there and talk the rest of his life. He made the crowd listen, he made it laugh, he made it buy. He told stories and sang songs, he coaxed and persuaded, until only a few microscopes were left and the old cigar-box was heavy with silver. "Step right up and take a look at a fly's leg!
"You just now said your maw was no bigger than a fly's head," cried the cook, "and now you devour meat like the crocodiles in the sacred tank of Seeland. You must come from a world of upside-down, where the men are as small as flies, and the flies as big as the giants of the past."
You only make a little round hole in it, about the size of a fly's eye; but, by the piper that played before Moses, I'll knock it all to smithereens." "Yes," sais I, "Mr Monaghan; fire and welcome." Well, up he comes to the toe-line, and puts himself into attitude, scientific like.

"But you needn't faint; he's not your father; you wouldn't have done it if he was your father." Flower tossed off the wine. "I'm better now," she said. Then she rose from the deep arm-chair, stood up, and put her two hands on Fly's shoulder.
"If idleness could make you fall to pieces, there wouldn't have been a piece of you left big enough to make trouble in a fly's eye, these last seven hundred years."

The worker who told these things to Buster Bumblebee actually laughed in his face. And Buster was so surprised and so crestfallen that he couldn't say a word for a long time. And never again did Buster mention the Robber Fly's name. Yes! Buster Bumblebee was a drone. He never gathered any nectar from the flowers and brought it home to help swell the family store of honey.
