Why not fling away both box and pellets, foregoing the final degradation, the final rapture, that every nerve in him clamoured for more imperatively than he dared admit even to himself.
I was there in the shrubbery. I was mad with rage! I would have killed you both if I could! "I said to myself: 'He shall never marry Suzanne never! He shall marry no one! I could not bear it. And all at once I began to hate him intensely. "Then do you know what I did? Listen. I had seen the gardener prepare pellets for killing stray dogs.
But the vulgar boys of bird society are fond of mobbing it when it appears abroad by day, and it dislikes publicity. The barn owl lays its eggs in the places which it inhabits. There is usually a thick bed of pellets on the floor, and it considers no other nest needful. The eggs are said to be laid in pairs.
The Scarabæus exhibits some of these characteristics. He also assists his spouse in the preparation of pellets of dung; he also assists her to transport the pellets, the pair facing each other and the female going backwards.

Frank was ready to join in a game of football or cricket when wanted, and could hold his own in either.
In act i. sc. 2, Judicio speaks of the English 'Flores Poetarum, against whom can-quaffing hucksters shoot their pellets. These 'Flores Poetarum' are Florio and his fellow-workers, among whom Ben Jonson is also to be reckoned; and we shall see farther on that the latter abuses these offensive hucksters as 'vernaculous orators, because they make Montaigne the target of their sneers.
As the launch veered to make the turn, the waters astern were splashed by the steel pellets from the Bennington's machine-gun. Then the gunner of the revenue cutter began to raise his sights. Splinters flew from the Richard's stern. The coaming was riddled as the deadly hail moved toward the bow. The gunner on the Bennington ceased grinding as the launch disappeared behind the point.
The doves were grouped in front of him, and every eye was fixed on the key as he turned it carefully. Would it really fit? Around it went. Up sprang the lid, and there behold! were the wonderful big pellets which might break the enchantment.
