When confronted with the Acorn-weevil, she seizes the insect by the snout, which is immensely long and shaped like a pipe-stem, and plants her sting in its body to the rear of the prothorax, between the first and second pair of legs. It is needless to insist: the spoiler of the Cleoni has taught us enough about this mode of operation and its results.
The fruitful land of Meath again gave forth its abundance, unscourged by the spoiler, and beside its lakes and streams the hospitable Ard-Righ had erected, or restored, three hundred fortified houses, where, as his poets sung, shelter was freely given to guests from the king of the elements.
"Tell me what you do if ever you do anything." "I don't," he replied. "I am what is called a spoilt child of fortune." "You like being spoilt?" "It depends on the spoiler. Sometimes I hate it." "Why?" asked Bridget.
But the greedy spoiler came, and behold, stranger, what he made it! Alas! this garden is but an example of the condition to which our unhappy country has been reduced." The Indian was silent, and seemed lost in gloomy reflection.
Such is the lament of the Moorish writers over the lamentable state of Granada, now a mere phantom of former greatness. The two ravages of the Vega, following so closely upon each other, had swept off all the produce of the year, and the husbandman had no longer the heart to till the field, seeing the ripening harvest only brought the spoiler to his door.
But when, a little later, a fire swept down Dupont Street and laid the poor tent in ashes, spoiling the desolate house whose beautiful lar had flitted, when his wife went moaning maudlinly among the yet warm ashes, and groping, in mean misery, with a stick, for some charred nothing she would cheat the Spoiler of, there was a dangerous quality in Pintal's look, as, with folded arms and vacant eyes, he seemed to stare upon, yet not to see, the shocking scene.
"If that man, to destroy the last souvenir of your birth, had murdered your mother, what would he deserve from you?" "Blow for blow blood for blood." "If, after a long and difficult pursuit, fate had at last delivered the spoiler into your hands, what would you do?" "I should think myself guilty towards God and man if I spared him."
Making inquiries, he learned that the spoiler had attacked his home, and he left the plough in the furrow and took his pen in hand. One of the protests the Commissioner read twice. It was from a woman, a widow, the granddaughter of Elias Denny himself. She told how her grandfather had sold most of the survey years before at a trivial price land that was now a principality in extent and value.
"You mean hateful thing! just because you're bigger than Kep!" and Constance fell on the spoiler. As her mother's right-hand man she had cuffed and slapped her way to a place of power among the little brothers. Mr. Cavendish appeared to allay hostilities. "I 'low I'll skin you if you don't keep still!
It appears to us as groundless and almost as laughable as the frantic and impotent rage of the Chinaman who has lost his sacred queue by the hand of the Christian spoiler. To the Northern mind the cause is entirely incommensurate with the anger displayed. One is inclined to ask, with a laugh, "Well, what of it?"
