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).

Don't Be Afraid of Losing Your Friends and Followers. Be Afraid of Losing Yourself to the World, Because you Settled for the Opi
kirill115 [55]

What I think the beautiful meaning behind this is...

Losing friends or followers can happen in life, friends come and go, and sometimes you don't need friends to be happy.  But if you follow other people and believe their lies and stick to their opinion even though you might not agree with their opinion, you are under their control.  Not only you are under their control, but you pretend to be something else by agreeing to these opinions and pretending you agree. Never always follow other people, you don't need to be the follower.  Be the leader of your own tribe.
