A white moth of the night wandered into Rowan's face searching its features; then it flitted over to her and searched hers, its wings fanning and clinging to her lips; and then it passed on, pursuing amid mistakes and inconstancies its life-quest lasting through a few darknesses.
Meredith desired no visitor at all, she particularly disliked the appearance of this one. Rowan's words to her were full of meaning that she did not understand; but they rendered it clear at least that his love affair had been interrupted, if not been ended.
But in breaking off that friendship, you have done more than you have realized: you have ended my friendship with you." "And this is gratitude for my devotion to you and my willingness to fight your battles!" said Mrs. Osborn, rising. "You cannot fight my battles without fighting Rowan's. My wish to marry him or not to marry him is one thing; my willingness to see him ruined is another."
It seemed that they were about to secure themselves and their flocks against evil by way of charm and spell, for round about the ale-house they bent their steps the way of the sun brandishing rowan boughs and chanting a fragment of ancient rhyme: 'By the rowan's power By the thorn's might Safe i' the bower Be all our insight!

This determination was strengthened when McGaw, in a burst of confidence, told Rowan of his present financial straits. From Rowan's the complaining trio adjourned to O'Leary's barroom.
A singular and most vexatious incident is associated in my memory with those drawings, and I am sure Mrs. Rowan could never think of them without remembering it.
