Bed-bugs should be kept away, by filling every chink in the bedstead with putty, and if it be old, painting it over.

You can call it your Christmas present from me, if you like, and I shall 'play' besides that the other paper had arsenic in it; I'm sure it looked as if it had, and corrosive sublimate, too." Clover laughed outright. It was so funny to hear Katy's fertility of excuse.
