"I do trust you," I insisted. "But I ought to want to go back of my own accord, rather than let you give up things for me. I'm nothing to you " "You're Mrs. Ballantree MacDonald's daughter, and er a fellow-being." "If it comes to that, I suppose a worm's a fellow-being. But this worm has turned, and would as soon cross the path of a perfectly ravenous early bird as go to its grandmother.
Seldom are there two worms in an apple. They seem to respect each other's hunting-ground. From the worm's point of view and from man's, one is enough. If man has dominion and if he needs apples, then is he within his rights if he joins issue with the insects. Yet is the insect as interesting for all that.
During that time my life is dependent on the little worm's life, so that a bird can eat me, a child can pick me with the berries and trample under foot my thousand years of life. Now yesterday was just my transformation day, and I was taken with the raspberry and would have been trampled to death if you had not saved my life.
When most of the Subalterns sat upon him with sofa cushions to find out why he had not said that acting was his strong point, he answered very quietly: "I don't think you ever asked me.

He wished to smile: in a whisper, straining desperately he said: "Immediately now ... I shall know what is in the foggy spots of the Northern Dog-star: and in the eyeless worm's entrails."
It did not seem usual. Instead, he eyed the hedge, eyed the sky, eyed the surroundings. Nothing seemed immediately threatening, and he hopped straight away about three yards, where instantly, he conjured another and a smaller worm out of nowhere. With this unfortunate horror he hopped back to the unnice scene of the first worm's decease, and carved that second worm up in like manner.

Worm's company would not seriously have interfered with her plans, but it was her humour to go without him. 'When do you want to go? said her father. She only answered, 'Soon.
