Reasons of security have failed to modify the usual method of work.

This open lodging has no defence against the enemy; but the grub exhibits no anxiety on this score.
Neither is it thinking of the outer enemy when it bores down to the skin when the pea is intact, and then stops short.

It suddenly stops because the innutritious skin is not to its taste.

We ourselves remove the parchment-like skins from a mess of pease-pudding, as from a culinary point of view they are so much waste matter.

The larva of the Bruchus, like ourselves, dislikes the skin of the pea.
