considerable load, yet no such ornaments are now worn. Why the ears should be
thus denied, while head, neck, arms, wrists, and breast are so well provided, is
strange. Could it be that the inestimable jewels of the Master's utterances would
brook no rivals dangling at the portals of their destination?
