The Duke looked up at the tower of Merton, "os oupot authis alla nyn paunstaton."
The 'os uteri' would not admit my finger, although I frequently attempted it. At half-past eleven, the membranes began to protrude; at one the head had descended into the pelvis and the puppy was dead. In a previous labour she had been unable to produce her young, although the ergot of rye had been freely used.
Who, walking on Chester walls in those days, and seeing the Brassica oleracea, where it grows in abundance, would have supposed that from it would spring cabbages as big as drums, and cauliflowers as florid as a bishop's wig? Dov. Or cautiously chaumbering an acrid sloe, imagine it to be the parent of a green gage? Von Os. This is the Education of Vegetables. Dov. The March of Increment!

"'Deed on it is, squoire," replied Bess, "ey wur quite glopp'nt at seet on him. Lorjus o' me! whoy, it's scarcely an hour sin he left here, looking os strong an os 'earty os yersel. Boh it's a kazzardly onsartin loife we lead. Here to-day an gone the morrow, as Parson Houlden says. Wall-a-day!"
I do not so much wonder at the fellow who inquired if America was a very large town, as at him who, finding the froth of the Cicada spumaria L. on almost every blade in his garden, wondered where were all the cuckoos that produced it. Dov. They call it cuckoo-spit, from its plentiful appearance about the arrival of that bird. Von Os. That is reasoning from analogy. Dov.
