    It's a bad hound that is not worth whistling for
    ''Time enough'', lost the ducks. (As, And walking slow(ly) got them
    rest yourself, lost the horse (Heard no answer for this)
    I have a crow to pluck with you (As, And I have a bag for the feathers. meaning I'm prepared to meet your arguments)
    Go out now and cackle in the place where you laid your egg.
