But their pitiable patient was too far reduced for recovery. His exhausted system never rallied from the shock, and he survived but a few days. Alas! alas! that so exemplary a member of the community should have perished through piscine empiricism! How many things you have collected!
Great was this gentleman's condescension; he bade me be seated, opened his eyes wide, and enquired after my wants. The key? The key of the piscine? He regretted he could give me no information as to its whereabouts no information whatever. He had never so much as seen the key in question; perhaps it had been lost, perhaps it never existed.
This discovery is of no small interest as bearing on the theory of progressive development, because, according to Professor Huxley, the genus Pteraspis is allied to the sturgeon, and therefore by no means of low grade in the piscine class. It is a fact well worthy of notice that no remains of vertebrata have yet been met with in any strata older than the Lower Ludlow.
In flat countries where small ponds and tanks alone exist, the burying plan is almost universal; in plains traversed by large rivers or containing considerable scattered lakes, the migratory system finds greater favour with the piscine population.
"The gentleman who came to the flat wore horn-rimmed spectacles, sir." "And looked like something on a slab?" "Possibly there was a certain suggestion of the piscine, sir." "Then it must be Gussie, I suppose. But what on earth can have brought him up to London?" "I am in a position to explain that, sir. Mr. Fink-Nottle confided to me his motive in visiting the metropolis.
They dominated until reptiles appeared, when they mostly gave place to or, as the derivationists will insist, were resolved by divergent variation and natural selection into common fishes, destitute of reptilian characters, and saurian reptiles, the intermediate grades, which, according to a familiar piscine saying, are "neither fish, flesh, nor good red-herring," being eliminated and extinguished by natural consequence of the struggle for existence which Darwin so aptly portrays.
It was certified further that he was incapable of manual work. Then he described to us how yesterday in the piscine, upon coming out of the bath, he had been aware of a curious sensation of warmth in the stomach; he had then found that, for the first time for many months, he wished for food; he was given it, and he enjoyed it.
