From thence wee went along by the water side, towards the poynt of the Creeke to see if we could find any of their botes or Pinnesse, but we could perceiue no signe of them, nor any of the last Falkons and small Ordinance which were left with them, at my departure from them.
What do you think, Hr. Bogstad?" As the girl caught sight of the new arrival she started and the color came to her face. He went up to her. "How are you, Signe?" he said. "How do you like life on a saeter?" "Well, I hardly know," she said, seemingly quite embarrassed. "Oh, I'll tell you," broke in the busy Hansine, as she came with a pail full of salt.
Signe had not been in the Temple since the day she was married, and now she had come to do some work for her family. Rachel met her in the outer room with a pleasant greeting. "I am Sister Bogstad," she said; "and what is your name?" "Bogstad, did you say why why, my name is Ames." "Yes, Bogstad," replied Rachel, noticing the sister's surprise.

"And this I have found," said Henrik, smiling at Signe and Marie as with arms around each other, they sauntered down the garden path, "I have found that our work never ends. While in earth-life my mission was to seek after those of my people who had gone before me, and to do a work of salvation for them in the temples.
It was nearly noon when Signe Dahl sprang from the cart, and with her bundle under her arm, ran down the hillside into the woods, following a well-beaten trail. That was the short cut home. Hans had found her poor company during the ride, and even now, alone in the woods, the serious countenance was loth to relax.
Not so dashing as Miss Wilton, but far more charming, was the general expression. That evening there was quite a social gathering at Nina's. Early next morning, before others of the household were astir, Rupert and Signe went up to Dry Bench. A beautiful morning greeted them.
Speaking of the sergeants, Fortescue, in his 'De Laudibus, says "Wherefore to this state and degree hath no man beene hitherto admitted, except he hath first continued by the space of sixteene years in the said generall studio of the law, and in token or signe, that all justices are thus graduat, every one of them alwaies, while he sitteth in the Kinge's Courts, weareth a white quoyfe of silke; which is the principal and chiefe insignment of habite, wherewith serjeants-at-lawe in their creation are decked.
