He reverenced our legendary good women, and he bowed to noble deeds; and he ascribed the former to poetical creativeness, the latter operated as a scourging to his flesh to yield its demoniacal inmates. Nothing of the kind was doing at present. Or stay: a studious re-perusal of Gower Woodseer's letter enriched a little incident.
