"How pretty!" said the crab. "Very lovely!" said the lobster. "Do you wish your coats changed in color?" asked the little gnome. "Ah, no, thank you!" the two hypocrites said. "We were just looking around a bit!" "Well, I am glad to have your company," said the little gnome as he took a piece of scarlet cloth and laid it over the lobster's back. "How do you like that?" he asked of the crab.
The lobster's powerful claw, the butterfly's gorgeous tints, the rose's delicious fragrance, the architectural instinct of the bee, the astonishing structure of the orchid, are no longer explained as the results of contrivance.
At dusk they come home and sit upon the door-step. I know a piano player in a cheap café who has shot lions in Africa, a bell-boy who fought in the British army against the Zulus, an express-driver whose left arm had been cracked like a lobster's claw for a stew-pot of Patagonian cannibals when the boat of his rescuers hove in sight.
Thus it appears that the lobster's tail is composed of a series of segments which are fundamentally similar, though each presents peculiar modifications of the plan common to all.
Kicksey stared at us all, with her eyes seeming to stand out of her head like a lobster's, she was so astounded at this curious proceeding, but she said nothing and hurried out.
"They were probably first called Bengalese houses, and the present name was corrupted out of the adjective." The party collected together on the seashore, for the viscount appeared to have something to say. The captain of the Guardian-Mother called the attention of the company to the shape of the small bay before them, which looked exactly like a lobster's big claw.
The elephant does cast his tusks, but only in the juvenile state, when they are not bigger than lobster's claws; and the pair that succeeds these is permanent, and has to last him for life perhaps for centuries for no one can tell how long the mighty elephant roams over this sublunary planet.
Dellenbaugh, the pastor's wife, who, by reason of her position, never got up for anybody. The captain advanced to the fire, Ellen still in his arms, shook hands with Mrs. Dellenbaugh and extended three fingers, rough as lobster's claws and as red, to the old nurse.
Her crooked, knotted fingers, hard as a lobster's claws, seized the tubers, which were lying in a pail, as if they had been a pair of pincers, and she peeled them rapidly, cutting off long strips of skin with an old knife which she held in the other hand, throwing the potatoes into the water as they were done.
"Yes sirree; a steamboat that was on its course many miles off, on hearing the lobster's wails thought that this might be the signal of some shipwrecked crew; it drew near the island, picked me up, and in a few days I was back with my company." As he finished his tale Don Alonso made a most expressive grimace, and left with his Infiel Tower for the street.
