"I think I can see him." "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home! your house is on fire, and the Schoolmaster is burning!" chanted Tortillard. This variation augmented the hilarity of La Chouette. Having placed her basket in a hole under one of the steps, she said, "Look here, my man." "He does not see," answered Tortillard. "The boy is right. Ah, well! Do you hear?
What they did was to bring from Australia a different visitor, the dainty bug called the ladybird. She was eagerly welcomed. No one dreamed of bidding her, in the words of the old nursery rhyme, "fly away home." She was carried to the diseased orchards, where she settled on the scale, and as it was her favorite food, she soon had the trees clean again.
"There never was, nor will be, but one man worthy of Ladybird," said Miss Pross; "and that was my brother Solomon, if he hadn't made a mistake in life." Here again: Mr.
It is your own fault; for why did you allow yourself to be tied when you were asleep? Afterward there was nothing to be done, but to slip on the chain, and bring you down here, in this nice cool place, to preserve you, my sweet!" "It's a shame he'll grow mouldy," said Tortillard. The chains were heard rattling anew. "Oh, oh! he jumps like a ladybird, tied by the paw," cried the old woman.
On Sundays, Miss Pross dined at the Doctor's table, but on other days persisted in taking her meals at unknown periods, either in the lower regions, or in her own room on the second floor a blue chamber, to which no one but her Ladybird ever gained admittance.

No one answered, for Felix had pushed a slip of paper over to Alice, on which she read "'Forget-me-not, ladybird, linnet, kitten."
When the Ladybird arrived, they heard such news as interested them that is to say, not mere foolish accounts of wars or ship arrivals, or city gossip, but matters appertaining to their own world how Tom was with the road gangs, Dick on a ticket-of-leave, Harry taken to the bush, and Jack hung at the Hobart Town Gaol.
They all flew a thousand ways, and in their hurry carried away half the brazen tower, by which means the elephant, the car, the ladybird, and Pissimissi got loose; but in their fall tumbled through the roof of an apothecary's shop, and broke all his bottles of physic.
I don't see how he could have said I was picturesque, for there's nothing picturesque about that old blue rag. I don't know, though, it's always been awfully smart. But I'll tell you honestly, Ladybird, I'd rather be picturesque than almost anything else." "You're certainly that!" said Ida's bored voice. "Well, if you say so, I'll believe you!" Nina said.
