Far down, at some water-power nearest the reach of tide, a boom checks the march of this formidable body. The owners step forward and claim their slicks. Dowse takes all marked with three crosses and a dash. Sowse selects whatever bears two crescents and a star. Rowse pokes about for his stock, inscribed clip, dash, star, dash, clip. Nobody has counterfeited these hieroglyphs.

The next abbess was Joyce Rowse, but she was utterly unable to reinstate the old discipline we hear of her revelling with some of the sisters in the abbess's quarters. Bishop Fox in his injunctions in 1507 forbade sundry priests to hold any communication with the abbess or with any of the nuns. William Scott was forbidden to gossip with the nuns at the kitchen window.

"Never mind me, mother, but rowse it all up like entered cargo," said Marble, in his usual bitter way when alluding to his own birth. "There's not the man breathing that one can speak more freely before on such matters, than Moses Marble." "Marble! that's a hard name," returned the woman slightly smiling; "but a name is not a heart.

But our ideas clashed continually, and what he wanted was impossible, to make me see with his eyes; and so we came to great disappointment in the end. I was very much interested in his old guide, Coutet, with whom I had many climbs.

There is a portrait of him by Rowse, who knew and loved him well, which renders this side of Emerson in a way that makes it the most remarkable piece of portraiture I know, the listening Emerson. His insatiability in the study of human nature was shown curiously in our first summer's camp.
