The growl of the young bear when roused from his hiding-place is not more fierce and threatening than were the harsh tones of Wonolanset as he uttered through his clenched teeth: "Nummus quantum." "Nay, nay," said Mr. Ward, turning away from the savage, "his heart is full of bitterness; he says he is angry, and, verily, I like not his bearing. I fear me there is evil on foot.
The picture of the barn yard is very true to life in all ages, especially the touch of the hungry pigs sniffing after the pail of the farmer's wife: "Vagatur omnis turba sordidae cortis Argutus anser, gemmeique pavones Nomenque debet quae rubentibus pennis, Et picta perdix, Numidicaeque guttatae Et impiorum phasiana Colchorum. It was also called nummus, as we say "nickel."

"Quid fas optare: quid asper Utile nummus habet: patrix carisque propinquis Quantum elargiri deceat: quern te Deus esse Jussit, et humana qua parte locatus es in re; Quid sumus, et quidnam victuri gignimur."
A few lines in Persius contain a good summary of all the objects of moral investigation, and hint the result of our inquiry: There human will has no place. Quid sumus? et quidnam victuri gignimur? ordo Quis datus? et metæ quis mollis flexus, et unde? Quis modus argento? Quid fas optare? Quid asper Utile nummus habet? Patriæ charisque propinquis Quantum elargiri debet?
