 females, his Broadhooks cows especially being worthy

 water-birds on the shimmering oozy mud as the tide 

 lapped backward to the ocean. Quaint Kincardine- 

 on-Forth, with its suggestions of old-worldliness and

 and its homely rnatter-of-factness, was just at hand 

 by the scarce-moving river. A little aloft were the
