Returning to St. Denys le Ferment from his progress a little indisposed, he there fell into a fever upon a surfeit of lamprey, which in a few days ended his life. His body was conveyed to England, and buried at Reading in the abbey-church himself had founded.
"Things happen of theirselves, if you let 'em alone. Anyhow, it hasn't happened above this once." That was a great relief, and Tom seemed to breathe the freer for it. "I haven't a word to say against Providence," said Mrs. Lamprey. "On the contrary I go to Church every Sunday, and no one can find fault. So does Dr. Nash, to please Miss Euphemia. But one has to consider what's reasonable.
Gwen suggested that Tom might drive him home, with Mrs. Lamprey, and call back for instructions. Said Granny Marrable then, not as one under any new stress: "My lady, God bless you for coming, though I would have been glad it had been daylight. To think of your ladyship out in the cold and damp, for our sakes!" "Never mind me, Granny! I'll go to bed to-morrow night.
'You'll burst some vessel in your head, said Mr Feeder. 'You had better let it come. 'And the spawn of the lamprey, brought from the Carpathian Sea, pursued the Doctor, in his severest voice; 'when we read of costly entertainments such as these, and still remember, that we have a Titus 'What would be your mother's feelings if you died of apoplexy! said Mr Feeder.

Are the parties who saw these eggs quite certain that the fish was an Eel and not a Lamprey? Who saw the eggs from which Mr. Boccius produced living Eels? Who beside Mr. Boccius ever saw Eel-fry in a pond which had no communication with a river? Will Mr. Allees and Mr.
The country people about Bomballa considered this devil-child a punishment for a rebuff that the mother gave to a Jewish peddler selling Crucifixion-pictures.

We're as fine specimens as they were. I swear I shan't let any old turned-to- clay Lucullus outlive me, even if I've never eaten a lamprey."

Except for the eyes, the face had a vaguely Chinese air.
We must also admit that there is a much wider interval in mental power between one of the lowest fishes, as a lamprey or lancelet, and one of the higher apes, than between an ape and man; yet this interval is filled up by numberless gradations.
