The only essay we have towards the embodiment of the first vision is the short fragment published in Mosses from an Old Manse, called "Ethan Brand." The other was attempted in various forms, of which Septimius, Dr. Grimshawe's Secret, and The Dolliver Romance, all posthumously published, are the most important.
Dr. dear. But that child came up laughing. 'I don't know whether I'm myself or a custard pie, she said. And Mrs. James Millison was very angry. She said she would never take another thing to the manse if it was to be wasted and destroyed in that fashion." "Maria Millison never hurt herself taking things to the manse," sniffed Miss Cornelia.
In the Custom-House, as before in the Old Manse, I had spent three years a term long enough to rest a weary brain: long enough to break off old intellectual habits, and make room for new ones: long enough, and too long, to have lived in an unnatural state, doing what was really of no advantage nor delight to any human being, and withholding myself from toil that would, at least, have stilled an unquiet impulse in me.

To this there was no reply to be made; and in a minute, turning again to Lilias, she asked: "And when are you going to the manse as nurse, my dear?" Lilias said she was not going at all. "No! Where then? To Pentlands?

And forthwith he became the sole topic of conversation on Plutoria Avenue. "Have you seen the new minister of St. Osoph's?" everybody asked. "Have you been to hear Dr. Dumfarthing?"
