A Cure for Sluggishness
A Cure for Sluggishness.
But it is difficult to know where a slug's dome is domiciled, for it is practically all dome. Thus the scientific method is to make a noise like a sprig of young parsley behind a selected slug and, while it is looking over its shoulder, to fling a lighted match in its path; the slug walks into the flame and is burnt to death. This method is hard on matches, but, after all, matches are easier to borrow than cabbages.
