I was shown a Jain woman carefully emptying a piece of wood with holes in it into the road, each hole containing a louse which had crawled there during the night but must not be killed. The Jains adore every living creature; the Hindus chiefly the cow.
It is well said, but who will bell the Cat? It is short while seen the louse boore the langelt. I have a sliddery Eel by the tail. It is as meet as a Sow to bear a Saddle. It is as meet as a thief for the widdie. I would I had as meikle pepper as he counts himself worthy Mice dirt. It will be an ill web to bleitch. I cannot find you both tails and ears.
Belief in this alleged law has vitiated our natural science, our political science, our history, our philosophy, and even our religion. Science declared that 'the survival of the fittest' was a law of nature, though nature has condemned to extinction the majestic animals of the saurian era, and has carefully preserved the bug, the louse, and the spirochaeta pallida.
It was as if she were pronouncing the doom of the whole world. "Every cat, every rat, every mouse, every louse " Casey Ryan's jaw dropped an inch. He backed until he was against the door. He had to swallow twice before he could find his voice, and those of you who know Casey Ryan will appreciate that. He waited until she had finished her declaration. "No, ma'am, you're wrong.
So the poor widow agreed and spent the day picking out the lice and at evening the rich woman brought out a measure of rice to give her as her wages and, as she was measuring it, she felt her head itch and she put up her hand and scratched and pulled out a large louse.

It is of small size, though it makes us all shrink with horror and disgust. It has six claw-like legs and no wings. It is, in fact, neither more nor less than the clothes louse, the Pediculus vestimenti. Those pompous emblems of authority, the horsehair wigs those musty robes of unctuous dignity were full of dirt, and harboured the wandering bearer of typhus infection.
Locked doors showed that the owner was away, and a few rude sometimes very rude chalk or paint scratches told where he had gone. Thus: 'Lutuf Ullah is gone to Kurdistan. Below, in coarse verse: 'O Allah, who sufferest lice to live on the coat of a Kabuli, why hast thou allowed this louse Lutuf to live so long?
One of my clerks from the office said the same thing the vines did not look natural. I walked down to the yards, a quarter of a mile away, and there first saw the hop louse. The yard was literally alive with lice, and they were destroying at least the quality of the hops.
An old man observed that in this same place was formerly a source of thermal water, of which his great great grandfather had drunk. In short, in less time than it takes a fly to embrace its sweetheart, there had been a pocketful of etymologies, in which the truth of the matter had been less easily found than a louse in the filthy beard of a Capuchin friar.
