errand

What will ye, said King Arthur, and what is your errand?

The errands before he could start the project included getting material at the store and getting the tools he had lent his neighbors.

Carried somehow, somewhither, for some reason, on these surging floods, were these travelers, of errand not wholly obvious to their fellows, yet of such sort as to call into query alike the nature of their errand and their own relations. It is easily earned repetition to state that Josephine St. Auban's was a presence not to be concealed.

I had not taught thee then the alphabet

Of flowers, how they, devicefully being set

And bound up, might with speechless secrecy

Deliver errands mutely and mutually.
