Her flight from the bosom of Moncktonism?father, manor, cousins, suitor ?to the humbler hearth and home of Andrew Bullen, tweeded biologist, is not like the flapping of a decapitated chicken but like the career of a startled teal, which will explore other ponds before circling back to an inviting one nearby...

Science had never seen such...
