They are described by a gentleman who watched their operations with great interest, as 'stealing up to a louse, coolly seizing and tucking it under the arm, then inserting the beak and sucking it dry. They are supposed to feed also on other vegetable-eating insects as well as the plant louse." Phytocoris lineolaris swarms in our gardens during this month.
The cootie, or the "chat" as he is called by the officers, is the common body louse. Common is right. I never got rid of mine until I left the service. Sometimes when I get to thinking about it, I believe I haven't yet. In the morning the members of the raiding party were taken back a mile or so to the rear and were given instruction and rehearsal.
A word or two explained matters, and she took her husband's arm, declining to answer any questions until she reached the louse, and laughing at his curiosity. Pierre-Etienne de Saint-Faust de Lamotte, one of the king's equerries, seigneur of Grange-Flandre, Valperfond, etc., had married Marie-Francoise Perier in 1760.
Claud in the river! With a skiver through his liver." Whilst my brother's adherents greeted Dowse in public with a sort of monotonous chant to these elegant words: "Dowse!

It will be noticed that this is in the same rhythm that Mark Twain made so popular some twenty years later in his conductor's song.
Welcome your guest! If I were not a louse, should I have come to you? Listen: when I went then to the old woman's I only went to try.... You may be sure of that!" "And you murdered her!"

And in the water everything was drowned, the girl, the little tree, the little ash-heap, the little cart, the broom, the little door, the little flea, the little louse, all together. 31 The Girl Without Hands A certain miller had little by little fallen into poverty, and had nothing left but his mill and a large apple-tree behind it.
Where a sick man had friends or comrades, of course part of their duty, in taking care of him, was to "louse" his clothing. One of the most effectual ways of doing this was to turn the garments wrong side out and hold the seams as close to the fire as possible, without burning the cloth. In a short time the lice would swell up and burst open, like pop-corn.
The land about Rheims is of a white, chalky character, and very poor, but having been terraced and enriched with fertilizers, it produces the champagne grape in such abundance that the region, once considered valueless, and named by the peasantry the "land of the louse," now supports a dense population.
