If the wood was full of the creatures, it would be an endless work to chop them so small that they could do no injury; and then, besides, the parts would be so numerous, that the butterflies would be in danger from the drift of flying chips.

I served this one so, however; and then told the girl to beg again, and point out the direction in which one was coming.

I was glad to find, however, that I could now see him myself, and wondered how they could have been invisible before.

I would not allow him to walk over the child; but while I kept him off, and she began begging again, another appeared; and it was all I could do, from the weight of my armour, to protect her from the stupid, persevering efforts of the two.
