Whilst meditating on the beauty and design as shown in the ant-eater, whose præprandial movements I was intently watching, a young gentleman (not a naturalist) asked me, sotto voce, what is that contrivance?
It is a contrivance,
said I, for catching ants, and that is why he is called the ant-eater,
I continued to a young lady, who wanted to know the meaning of his name.
