And yet, when I looked back upon my life as a novice and a monk, I now felt as if I had been happy vaguely, foolishly, bloodlessly, happy only because I had been ignorant of what real happiness was not really happy. I thought of a bird born in a cage and singing there. I had been as that bird.
They do not nearly so often as the novice make the faux pas of offering an editor exactly the same sort of material that he already has printed in a recent or a current issue. They follow the new books. They keep card indexes on their unmarketed manuscripts, and toil on as much irksome office routine as a stock broker.
But both the Ring Tailed Panther and Obed were watching the ground, and, when they had gone about two miles, they reined in their horses. "See!" they exclaimed simultaneously. They had come to a broad trail cutting directly across their path. It was made by at least a hundred horses, and the veriest novice could not have missed it.

Then the vehicle receives a shove off the top of the hill, and shoots down the smooth precipice, and the novice, with shut eyes to escape the blinding snow that flies like hailstones about him, listens to the wind whistling behind, and with bated breath the first time at any rate wishes it were over. "Captain Du Meresq," cried Lilla, "come along; I am going to take you down the big jump."
The Doctor was no novice in such wanderings; he had already devoted two years to exploring the district north of Moreton Bay; undaunted by hardship, his thirst for knowledge unappeased, he had scarcely returned when he was ready to start again.
The mist had hidden us from their sight, and we found them all at breakfast: the gentlemen and Ann, the lady Abbess and a novice who was the youngest daughter of Uncle Endres Tucher of Nuremberg, and my dear cousin, well-known likewise to Ann. Albeit the Convent was closed to all other men, it was ever open to its lord protector.
