A more striking case of courtship, as well as of display, by the males of a Chinese Macropus has been given by M. Carbonnier, who carefully observed these fishes under confinement.
She had been sadly surprised at the suddenness of his distaste for those old-fashioned woodland forms of life which in his courtship he had professed to regard with so much interest. But she assented in a moment. "We must be simply your father's tenants," he continued, "and our goings and comings must be as independent as if we lived elsewhere." "Certainly, Edgar I quite see that it must be so."
Their meeting and brief courtship had been pure romance romance such as is bred in that land of mellow warmth and colour, where the flower of passion sometimes buds and blooms within the span of a single day.

In spite of his natural cheerfulness, in spite of his inbred courage, his heart failed him, when he thought of the time to come. As he turned away from the window, Sally's door opened: she joined him, ready for the walk.
He had always liked the good-hearted rake, Turovtsin he was associated in his mind with memories of his courtship and at that moment, after the strain of intellectual conversation, the sight of Turovtsin's good-natured face was particularly welcome. "For you and Oblonsky. He'll be here directly."
But there was no room in her case for denials, or puttings off, or any of the customary arts of delay and protracted courtship. Romeo had heard from her own tongue, when she did not dream that he was near her, a confession of her love.
