If you go on like this, none of the best people will have you
for a doctor. When the archers had stepped forward, the herald rose and
proclaimed the rules of the game: how that each man should shoot three shots,
and to him who shot best the prize of a yoke of fat steers should belong. He
was now, accordingly, in search of the best dancer (possessed of the
indispensable personal attractions) who was to be found in the theatres of the
Continent.

Cerastium
Cerastium is a genus of annual, winter annual, or perennial plants belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae. The around 100 species are commonly called Mouse-ear chickweed; different species are found nearly worldwide but the greatest concentration is mainly from the northern temperate areas of the world. A number are common weeds in fields and on disturbed ground.
Cerastium species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora chalcogrammella (which feeds exclusively on Cerastium arvense) and Coleophora striatipennella (which has been recorded on Cerastium fontanum).
