hard-shell clam

“The Clam Castle was crowded with taxpayers,” Pete says in typical fashion.

The recovery of the oyster, clam and other edible shell-fish is also a feature of the work which the Lake Company has in view.

Its shores were long stretches of mud-flats, corrugated everywhere with thousands of clam-holes.

Then I saw that the two halves of the clam-shell bucket were slightly open, just wide enough to let me squeeze in.

Down fell that pretty innocent, as falls a snow-white lamb; Her hair drooped round her pallid cheeks, like sea-weed on a clam.

"It's your kind of clam chowder, too," said Mrs. Hills, shaking her head.
