errands

act as secretary; whilst Adams typed away in the outer office on Mr.

Michaelis's business or went on long and mysterious errands. Hither

also came the little maid from the Lilacs, bringing needed changes

And under, through the cable wove,

Her fiery errands go.

Ev’n you, on murdering errands toil’d,

Lone from your savage homes exil’d,

Nor only bring them tidings hame,

But do their errands there,

And aiblins gowd and honor baith

Ev’n you, on murdering errands toil’d,

Lone from your savage homes exil’d,—

Ev'n you on murd'ring errands toil'd,

Lone from your savage homes exiled,

They sat. She cast one dull, old look at him,

Then turned him out to go on other errands

She said he might attend to in the village,

Hurry from road to road, and run

About the errands of the wind.
