The Butterfly.
"Two thousand cabbage butterflies have been captured by Huntingdon school-children, but more stern measures for their capture must be introduced."—Evening Paper.
In order to capture the cabbage butterfly the first thing to do is to interest the creature by giving it a cabbage-leaf to play with. Then take the kitchen-chopper in the right hand, lift it high and bring it down with a crash on the third vertebra. Few butterflies repeat any offence after this is severed.
The Invincible Argentine.
"There is a most useful Navy, including two or three super-Dreadnoughts, and the best-bred racehorses in the world."—Irish Times.
"Further instructions as regards the allowance to householders which have increased in size will be issued later. The issue of temporary cards is under consideration."—Food Control Notice in "Liverpool Daily Post."
"Who have increased in size" would be better grammar and just as good sense.
