I pulled a bulrush of about ten feet. I saw no convenient boats upon the Mere. We visited Lord Kilmorey's house . It is large and convenient, with many rooms, none of which are magnificently spacious. The furniture was not splendid. The bed-curtains were guarded .

The Mephistophelian and mocking character of Lox is strongly shown when he says, "Nothing but a cat-tail or bulrush can kill me," this being evidently an allusion to Glooskap.

Then we saw Boddy lay hands on him, and in a twinkling down pitched the usher, and the boys cheered chirped, I should say, they exulted so, and merely sang out like birds, without any wilfulness of delight or defiance.
