Major, that what eel say in trap where he go after lob-worm, but he only get out into frying pan after cook skin him alive-o. Ah! here come cook I mean Asika. She only stop shut up those stiff 'uns, who all love lob-worm one day. Very pretty woman, Asika, but thank God she not set cap at me, who like to be buried in open like Christian man."
"Well," Aunt Judy proceeded, "will you believe it, the lob-worm went on boasting till the poor deluded 'SOMETHING' believed every word he said, and at last ventured to ask in what favoured spot he had acquired his superior tastes and knowledge. "And then, of course, the lob-worm had the opportunity of opening out in a very magnificent bit of brag, and did not fail to do so.
The snail, the pine-cockchafer, the Praying Mantis, the lob-worm, the caterpillar, and other favourite insects, have all been given in alternation and in sufficient quantities. In devouring a brother whose damaged armour lent itself to any easy attack my beetles had not the excuse of hunger. Is it their custom to kill the wounded and to eviscerate such of their fellows as suffer damage?
I threw my handkerchief on the floor, took my fat little Virgil in my left hand, and crept out to him. When near on top of him, I gripped him round the nape of the neck, digging my fingers in his flabby throat, and he went slimy with fright like a great, fat lob-worm. I swooped down on him with my full weight, and pinned him to the floor.
The hedgehog surviving the gipsy's raid was a young female, that, while the terrier beat the fence, remained quietly munching a large lob-worm at the foot of a mound a dozen yards away, and so knew nothing of the fate of her kindred.
Whereupon Aunt Judy answered that he had not stopped the story in the middle, but at the end, and she was glad he had found out the meaning of her HM ! But No. 6 would not be satisfied, she liked to hear the complete finish up of everything. "Did the 'HUM'S' children ever grow up in the garden, and did they ever see the lob-worm again?"
"Oh dear, Aunt Judy," cried No. 6, "was the 'hum, as you will call it, so silly as to believe what he said?" "How could the poor simple-minded thing be expected to resist such elegant compliments, my dear No. 6?" answered Aunt Judy. "But then came the difficulty. The 'SOMETHING' which lived in the field had no more legs than the lob-worm himself, and, in fact, was incapable of locomotion."
"Travellers can always boast with impunity to stationary folk, and the lob-worm had no conscience about speaking the truth. So on he chattered, giving the most splendid account of the garden in which he lived.
It opened its heart on this point to the lob-worm, and although the lob-worm had no heart to be touched, he had still a tongue to talk. "If the hm would send its children to the garden at the first opportunity, he would be delighted, absolutely charmed, to introduce them in the world. He would put them in the way of everything, and see that they were properly attended to.
But it recovered its spirits again when the time came for sending its children to the favoured garden abode. "'My dears, it said, 'you will soon have to begin life for yourselves, and I hope you will do so with credit to your bringing up. That paradise of happiness, of which the lob-worm told us, is close at hand.
