CHAPTER X.
A MAGNUM OPUS Two Bibles, a volume of sermons by the learned Dr.Isaac Barrow, a few numbers of the _Cheap Magazine_, that had strayed from Dunfermline, and a "Pilgrim's Progress," were the works that lay conspicuous ben in the room.

Hendry had also a copy of Burns, whom he always quoted in the complete poem, and a collection of legends in song and prose, that Leeby kept out of sight in a drawer.
The weight of my box of books was a subject Hendry was very willing to shake his head over, but he never showed any desire to take off the lid.

Jess, however, was more curious; indeed, she would have been an omnivorous devourer of books had it not been for her conviction that reading was idling.

Until I found her out she never allowed to me that Leeby brought her my books one at a time.

Some of them were novels, and Jess took about ten minutes to each.
