What the hell was going on? James yanked Regulus’s hand and forced him behind his back, shielding him from the enormous snail. Its beady eyes turned in their direction, its body still facing in the opposite direction. 

With a sickening squelch, the snail began to turn. It moved much faster than he’d expected. Thankfully, they both had quick reflexes thanks to years playing quidditch and took off back the way they'd come. 

“Why is it so big?!” Regulus gasped as James all but dragged him down the corridor.

“No idea,” He grunted as he made a sharp left, the snail still on their tail. 

They ground to a halt as they came face to face with another of the enormous shelled gastropods. “Fuck!” James exclaimed as he changed course, spinning Regulus around to go back the way they’d just come, but it was too late. The other snail had caught up with them.

James panted, spinning his head this way and that, looking for a way out.

“Do me a favour and stop trying to be the hero,” Regulus drawled boredly, as though they hadn’t just legged it down two corridors. He tugged at James’s hand, with a lot more strength than James had given him credit for, and opened a secret passage beside them. They fell into it just as the two snails collided with each other slimily. James shuddered at the sound and lit his wand, taking in Regulus’s scowl.

“We need to find my brother,” Regulus spat through gritted teeth.

La Mode illustrée, no. 2, 10 janvier 1897, Paris. Toilette de bal. Modèle de chez Mme Gradoz, rue de Provence, 67. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

La jupe et le corsage sont faits en crêpe de Chine bleu pâle; le bord de la jupe est orné d'un bouillonné en gaze. Le corsage est disposé en plis transversaux, partagés par des galons de perles. L'ouverture du corsage est encadrée d'une draperie en gaze de soie bleue, brodée en perles blanches, terminée par une frange de perles et retenue au milieu par un motif de perles. Les manches se composent de volants étroits en gaze plissée, tr��s froncés. On pose sur une épaule un nœud-papillon en ruban de satin bleu pâle, sur l'autre épaule une touffe de roses.

The skirt and bodice are made of pale blue crepe de chine; the edge of the skirt is decorated with a gauze bouillonné. The bodice is arranged in transverse pleats, divided by pearl braids. The opening of the bodice is framed by a drapery of blue silk gauze, embroidered with white pearls, finished with a pearl fringe and held in the middle by a pearl motif. The sleeves are composed of narrow flounces of pleated gauze, very gathered. On one shoulder is placed a bow tie in pale blue satin ribbon, on the other shoulder a tuft of roses.

Petition of Ohioans to the Senate and House of Representatives Regarding Land Sale Policy

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: Petitions and Memorials Referred to the Committee on Public LandsFile Unit: Petitions and Memorials, Resolutions of State Legislatures, and Related Documents Which Were Referred to the Committee on Public Lands during the 11th Congress

To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled.

[left column]

The Subscribers, inhabitants of the state of Ohio, by their Petition, respectfully pray-That your honorable bodies will be pleased to extend the law of Congress passed the second day of March, 1809, entitle "An act to extent the time of making payment for the public lands of the United States, as as to relievet he purchasers of the public lands in a similar manner as in the years 1805, and 1806." The same embarrassments, and from the same reasons ; the same scarcity of circulating medium, and from the same causes, operate to distress your petitioners, as was set forth by many of us in our humble petition to your honorable bodies at your last annual session. Your petitioners find the means of payment suspended in a greater degree, than was felt last year ; little emigration ; no market for our surplus produce, and forbidding prospects of collecting our money from those that purchased our real or personal property in states from whence we emigrated, in time to make our payments to the United States, as stipulated by the laws of Congress now in force.

Your petitioners also further pray, that your honorable bodies will be pleased to grant a pre-emption to the original purchases, or his or their assignee or assignees, who was legally entitled to the survey so forfeited, had he or they made the payments agreeably to the laws now in force. This humane, and to us, beneficial regulation, will prevent the greedy speculators from depriving us of the comforts of our labor and honest industry, and often save us and our helpless families from total ruin. Many of your petitioners have made large improvements on our lands, under a full conviction that we should be per-

[right column]

fectly able to complete our payments, agreeably to the laws of the United States-But the possibility of a failure in payment, from the causes before adverted to, has brought amongst us a number of land speculators, men who live on the sweat from other men's brows, who generally place themselves in the most considerable towns in the state, and particularly in those towns where the land-offices are fixed-At the public sales for the non-payment of lands, (which happens three times in every year, i.e. at every court of common pleas) these adventurers closely attend the sales, frequently to the number of twenty or thirty, and sometimes to the exclusion of the ignorant farmer from the office ; and immediately on the reversion of the lands to the United States, apply in a body, and often obtain the very lands which we have toiled and labored on for years, and thereby made the wilderness a smiling paradise-From this property we are immediately dispossessed, and by such persons, and by such means ; or we must comply with their terms, which generally is, to give our bonds to the fortunate speculator for a considerable sum, sometimes more than the original price of the land, and also take the future payments to the United States on ourselves-The payment of these obligations, disenables us to comply with the future payments to the United States, and only procrastinates the day of poverty and distress a few years longer.-Much more could be detailed on this, to us, important subject ; but we forbear-believing and depending in the wisdom and justice of Congress to grant us such relief, as in their superior wisdom may seem meet.-And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
