It was partly because it was the next challenge for me as a writer, to imagine the world from a girl's point of view, but mostly it was because I thought that outdoor adventure novels needed to catch up to real life. Outdoor adventure is every bit as appealing to girls as it is to boys. Just look around at who's out there skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, river rafting, climbing-girls are active in every kind of sport. On our own hikes and river trips we see at least as many girls as boys.
<em>Answer:</em>
"Soon, the people of the house, aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out, 'thieves, thieves!'"
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).
