This stirs up the small living things, which are at once swallowed by the Pipe-fish. We have already seen how the male Pipe-fish carries his eggs in his "pocket." Another curious thing is his suit of armour. Instead of scales, he has hard plates all over his body. Very often you may see young Pipe-fish among Sprats and "Whitebait" in the fishmonger's shop.

Reclamations were made, however, and the park now opened covers five thousand six hundred acres a magnificent pleasure-ground. Here go many holiday-parties to the famous inns, where they get the Greenwich fish-dinners and can look back at the great city they have left. Here the ministry at the close of the session has its annual whitebait dinner.

Followed, whitebait: thousands of little fish.... Jenny hardly liked to crunch them. Keith whipped away the plates, and dived back into the cabin with a huge pie that made her gasp. "My gracious!" said Jenny. "I can never eat it!" "Not all of it," Keith admitted. "Just a bit, eh?" He carved.

You get tired and sunburned and lonesome, and you have to eat any old thing that the cook dishes up to you." "It makes a difference, doesn't it?" said I. "It certainly does. Now, I found some whitebait yesterday, at Maurice's, with a new sauce that beats anything in the trout line I ever tasted." "It makes a difference, doesn't it?" I said. "Immense. The sauce is the main thing with whitebait."

Look at whitebait, great heavens! look at whitebait, and a thousand frisking, glittering, silvery things besides, which the nymphs of our native streams bear kindly to the deities of our kitchens our kitchens such as they are.

The rest is silence. 'What sad little lives! and what a cruel world it is! said the Sphinx as she crunched with her knife through the body of a lark, that but yesterday had been singing in the blue sky. Its spirit sang just above our heads as she ate, and the air was thick with the grey ghosts of all the whitebait she had eaten that night. But there were no longer any tears in her eyes.

Cabinet dinners corporation dinners election dinners and vestry dinners and rail-road dinners we pass by these things, and triumphantly ask does not the Ship par excellence the Ship of Greenwich annually assemble under its revered roof the luminaries of the nation? Oh, whitebait! called so early to your last account! a tear is all we give, but it flows spontaneously at the memory of your sorrows!

He has indeed earned them. 'Tears, little one! I said. 'See how they swim like whitebait in the fishpools of your eyes! 'Oh, yes, the whitebait, rejoined the Sphinx, glad of a subject to hide her emotion. 'Now tell me something nice about them, though the poor little things have long since disappeared. Tell me, for instance, how they get their beautiful little silver waterproofs?

With all this, the Simpsons were sometimes troubled by the impression that they could not claim to be making their angel in the house completely happy. The air, the garden, the victoria, the turbot and the whitebait, these were all that had been vaunted, and even to the modesty of the Simpsons it was evident that the intimacy they offered their guest should count for something.

That One who knows when the sparrow is ready for death knows well what things are needed for a tired girl's soul. As you descend towards the Thames, the streets get meaner, and the shabby and sunken houses, elbowing one another for frontage, bear the sign-boards of beer-shops and eating-rooms, with especial promises of whitebait and other delicacies in the fishing line.
