Madam How and Lady Why

CHAPTER XI--THE WORLD'S END
17/34

Come, and sit down on this bench.

You can't catch that great butterfly, he is too strong on the wing for you.
But oh, what a beautiful one! Yes, orange and black, silver and green, a glorious creature.

But you may see him at home sometimes: that plant close to you, you cannot see at home.
Why, it is only great spurge, such as grows in the woods at home.
No.

It is Irish spurge which grows here, and sometimes in Devonshire, and then again in the west of Europe, down to the Pyrenees.

Don't touch it.
