The birds and beasts had gone to rest, and the stillness of the moors was awful. It was night, and dark. Suddenly she heard a child's feeble voice, and in an instant she pressed on towards the spot from which the sound came; soon she heard Fly's loud howl for aid. At last she reached the spot, and found a little boy half asleep, a kind of drowsiness which precedes death.
'I should not have thought that a suitable subject for the day, said the Marchioness gravely, and Fly's endeavour to say it was her fault for asking about it was silenced by choking; and Gillian found herself courteously dismissed in polite disgrace, and, as she felt, not entirely without justice.
Macey now started an objection to his proposing himself as a deputy-constable; for that oracular old gentleman, claiming to know the law, stated, as a fact delivered to him by his father, that no doctor could be a constable. "And you're a doctor, I reckon, though you're only a cow-doctor for a fly's a fly, though it may be a hoss-fly," concluded Mr.
Hugh took them, and examined them curiously. They were soft and elastic, what Hugh in his own words would have described as "blobby." They seemed to be made of some stuff like indiarubber, and were just the colour of his skin. "What funny things!" said Hugh. "They are made after the pattern of the fly's wall-climbers," remarked the raven.
He was called Nemu, or "the dwarf," and his sharp tongue made him much feared, though he was a favorite, for he passed for a very clever fellow and was a good tale-teller. "Make room for me, my lords," said the little man. "I take very little room, and your beer and roast is in little danger from me, for my maw is no bigger than a fly's head."
From the consideration of animal parasites as the direct causes of disease, we naturally come to the contemplation of the subject of insects as the carriers of disease. The later years of the century have witnessed the demonstration of the fly's agency in the transmission of malignant pustule and typhoid fever, and that of certain mosquitoes in the conveyance of yellow fever and malarial disease.
So Gillian was called to her mother's room to be told first of the arrangement, which certainly in some aspects was rather hard on her. 'I could not help it, my dear, said Lady Merrifield, 'without absolutely asking for an invitation for you. 'No, mamma; and it is Mysie who is Fly's friend, being the same age and all. It is quite right, and I understand it.
"Well, it's mesilf that'll take the liberty o' mintionin' that I ain't goin' to stand furr another minyit an Esquimer's cuttin' down my rations. Sure it's a fool I've been!" "You can't help that," Mac chopped out. "Say Mac," said Potts in a drunken voice, "I'm talkin' to you like a friend. You want to get a move on that kid." "Kaviak's goin' won't make any more difference than a fly's."
This bird fly's very clumsily. nor do I know whether it ever Seizes it's prey alive, but am induced to believe it does not. we have Seen it feeding on the remains of the whale and other fish which have been thrown up by the waves on the Sea Coast. these I believe constitute their principal food, but I have no doubt but that they also feed on flesh. we did not meet with this bird untille we had decended the Columbia below the great falls; and have found them more abundant below tide water than above. this is the Same Species of Bird which R. Field killed on the 18th of Novr. last and which is noticed on that day tho not fully discribed then I thought this of the Buzzard Specis.
Dolly, how could you! and 'Poor little pup! all crowded round in pity and indignation, and Wilfred observed, 'I told you so! 'You'll get no change but that out of the Lady of the Rueful Countenance, said Jasper. Mysie had for once nothing to say in Dolores's defence, being equally hurt for Fly's sake and the puppy's.
