Several times over, the fly leaves the bird's beak and comes to take a rest upon the wire gauze, where she brushes her hind legs one against the other.

Then, feeling her womb still teeming, she returns to the same spot at the joint of the beak.
Money smoothes all kinds of roads, and in arrangements for marriage it will almost abolish time.
