The answer is an assumed identity
The correct answer is “bees”. Adapted from the novel “<em>The Country of the Pointed Firs</em>” by Sarah Orne Jewett (1896), the intended meaning of the word “scribe” in this passage is “bees”. The original passage reads, “<em>One anxious scribe felt very dull that day; a sheep-bell tinkled near by, and called her wandering wits after it.</em>”. One can understand that the author is talking about bees because they are mentioned in the previous lines (“<em>Now and then a bee blundered in and took me for an enemy…</em>”). In fact, after this passage the narrator explains that she has the scent of <u>bergamot</u>, a plant that attracts number of specialist bees, and it refreshes “<em>the labors of anxious scribes</em>”. In other words, the bergamot makes the bees feel they have more energy again. Then, the narrator continues describing the sad atmosphere after the funeral she witnessed saying that “<em>One anxious scribe felt very dull that day…</em>” (a bee felt very dull that day).
