Examples
A silvery creature like a slowworm came crawling out from among them, slowly crossed the clay floor, and crept into the fire.

But the blindworm, or slowworm, as this creature is called, is perfectly harmless.
They are wrong; and they must be told that they are wrong, and scolded if they kill a slowworm.
