His own last letter from Taurarua dwells upon the enjoyment of his conversations with Sir William Martin and Bishop Cowie; and then goes into details of a vision of obtaining young English boys to whom a good education would be a boon, bringing them up at St.
The reader of the Mercury was verily Mr. John Cowie, whilom butler to Mr. John Napier, and now waiter in the Lonsdale Arms of the obscure Kirby a place like Peebles, where, if you wanted to deposit a secret, you could do so by crying it out at the market-cross; and, moreover, he was verily in possession of the key to the Napier mystery.

"Truly, bein' her ain, she micht.
For had he not chosen his housekeeper upon the strength of those personal recommendations of the defensive importance of which she was herself unaware? Except his own daughters there was no one who mourned so deeply for the loss of Mr Cowie as Annie Anderson.
