He described to her how newts, during the breeding season, live in the water, subsisting upon tadpoles, insect larvae, and crustaceans; how, later, they make their way to the land and eat slugs and worms; and how the newly born newt has three pairs of long, plumlike, external gills.
"Bennet Bennet what Bennet?" "I don't know, Sir." Lawrence Newt was apparently satisfied with this answer. He only said: "Well, my son, you do wisely to say at once you don't know, instead of going back to somebody a few centuries ago, of whose father you have to make the same answer. The Newts, however, you must be aware, are a very old family." The merchant smiled.
Abbott McGrath their machinations and their misdeeds their lies and their ambitions their power and their pride, they were newts that fouled a pool, gnats in the sunshine, cinders on the snow.
The newts and common toads would be in no wise dismayed by the passing of the trees, but not so certain tadpoles. Those of our ditches, it is true, would live and flourish, but there are, in the world, many curious kinds which hatch and grow up into frogs in curled-up leaves or in damp places in the forks of branches, and which would find themselves homeless without trees.
The story related by Giraldi concerning the head of Judas in the "Cenacolo" at Milan, sufficiently illustrates the method of Lionardo in creating types and the utility of such caricatures as his notebooks contain. It is told that he brought into his room one day a collection of reptiles lizards, newts, toads, vipers, efts all creatures that are loathsome to the common eye.

"That's right. Well, Gussie has always been a slave to them. He used to keep them at school." "I believe young gentlemen frequently do, sir."
One morning, almost as soon as she got up, Betty felt that every single thing Kitty did or said was silly. It did not occur to her that perhaps she was a little bit cross herself, which was the real explanation. After breakfast they all three went down to the pond, and, dividing the water into shares, began to fish for frogs and newts.
A decayed roadside chapel with faded frescoes a shepherd who played us some melodies on his pipe those wondrous red lilies, now in their prime, glowing like lamps among the dark green undergrowth the gateway of a farmhouse being repaired a reservoir of water full of newts a fascinating old woman who told us something about something the distant view upon the singular peak of Mount Cacume, they all gave us occasion for lingering.
We may have exchanged an occasional remark about it taking all sorts to make a world, but nothing more. You can guess the sequel. The trouble spread," "Indeed, sir?" "Absolutely, Jeeves. The craving grew upon him. The newts got him. Arrived at man's estate, he retired to the depths of the country and gave his life up to these dumb chums.
