'They are newts, little lizards, answers a learned pandit. 'They are spirits of the bog, myths, that hold their carnival in the early grass of the marshy pools, says the theorist and poet, who believes in the idealities of a poetic fancy.
Dinks, on her side, knowing the limitations of Alfred's income, and believing in the Newt resources, did not wish to divert from him any kindness of the Newts. So she outgeneraled Mrs. Dagon again. "Yes, indeed, it is an outrage upon all our feelings. We must, of course, be mutually shocked at the indiscretion of these members of both our families." "Yes, oh yes!" answered Mrs. Newt.
"They may be pic-nic-ers people who bring salt twisted up in a bit of paper with them, and leave it behind when they go away. Don't let the children touch it!" "They may be and this is the worst that could happen men collecting frogs, toads, newts, snails, and hedgehogs for the London markets. We must keep very quiet. They will go away at sunset."
Then they began to sing this song: "You spotted snakes with double tongue, Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen; Newts and blindworms do no wrong, Come not near our Fairy Queen. Philomel, with melody, Sing in our sweet lullaby, Lulla, lulla, lullaby; lulla, lulla, lullaby; Never harm, nor spell, nor charm, Come our lovely lady nigh; So good night with lullaby."
"And you can't get away from it that, fundamentally, Jeeves's idea is sound. In a striking costume like Mephistopheles, I might quite easily pull off something pretty impressive. Colour does make a difference. Look at newts. During the courting season the male newt is brilliantly coloured. It helps him a lot." "But you aren't a male newt." "I wish I were.
You see, ma, one of our directors to-day sez to me, after board, sez he, 'The Boniface Newts is a going it slap-dash up to Saratogy. I laughed, and sez I, 'Why shouldn't they? but I don't believe they be, sez I. Sez he, 'I'll bet you a new shawl for your wife they be, sez he. Sez I, 'Done. So you see ma, if so be they be, werry well.
All was fish that came to Tam's net: tadpoles, newts, and stickleback from the ponds, beetles from the dung-heaps, green crabs from the sea- shore nay, even in time such larger prizes as hedgehogs, moles, and nestfuls of birds. Nothing delighted him so much as to be out in the fields, hunting for and taming these his natural pets.
"To what class do the frogs and toads and newts belong? Are they Vertebrate animals? Do they belong to the land or the water?" I said they certainly do belong to the great Backboned family, and are placed in a class by themselves, as they are neither Mammalia, Birds, Fishes, nor Reptiles, properly speaking, and are called Amphibia, because they live, as it were, a double life.
There seems no reason to doubt that modern fish, as a whole, quite equal in size the piscine fauna of any previous geological age. It is somewhat different with the next great vertebrate group, the amphibians, represented in our own world only by the frogs, the toads, the newts, and the axolotls.
But no one laughs. A boy who is standing by screws up one eye and looks at him gravely with compassion. The most interesting of all is the fish section. Some dozen peasants are sitting in a row. Before each of them is a pail, and in each pail there is a veritable little hell. There, in the thick, greenish water are swarms of little carp, eels, small fry, water-snails, frogs, and newts.
