There had been a sardonic cruelty in sending him to purchase the materials for his own torture. Still, he had promised. Drawing a sheet of the firm's paper with the memo. head on it towards him, he wrote as follows: "Jona: I can't get away to elope with you to-day. My wife won't let me. If you are still of the same mind on Saturday, the train I shall take for Brighton leaves Victoria at eleven."
"Only get her consent to go, and we will make a perfect fairy of her. Grandma's box just came in time." Just then Dexie appeared, and was quickly tucked under the robes. "Wish us good luck, or fling a slipper, do, Cora, for we are going to elope!" Dexie laughingly exclaimed. "Good luck, then, and with all my heart I wish it; but slippers are costly, and mine are new," was the laughing reply.
Johnny's strong suit with his ancient flame was his personal icties; and when Peter was otherwise engaged he asked the girl to elope with him to Kamloops or Lillooet. The next day was Sunday and Peter was going out with others on a cayuse hunt which had been planned some time before.
'It's on account of you wolves bein' regyarded as peaceful, staid, an' law abidin' that I first considers you. Then ag'in, thar ain't a multitood of places clost about Tucson to elope to nohow; an' I can't elope far on account of my roll.
"Better far," I said to myself, "put this young woman in charge of her brother and his new wife than leave her to elope alone," and I made the chauffeur draw up beside them. Hastily I explained the situation, and where we were going at that moment, and Henry and Madge laughed in unison. "Madge," said Henry, "we had no trouble making wormy acorns travel through the air, had we?"
The poor devil was at death's door at the time of the murder." "But is that a fact?" Venn opened his eyes. "Supposing," continued Langholm, speaking the thing that was not in his mind with the deplorable facility of the professional story-teller "supposing that illness had been a sham, and they had really meant to elope under cover of it!" "Well, it wasn't." "I dare say not. But how do you know?
"I know Dicky's sensitive nature, and it is just as likely as not that he would take you at your word. And I will not elope with you alone." I need not have been alarmed. Isabel had no intention of reducing the party at the last moment. I listened for protests and hesitations when they met, but all I heard was, "Have you got the bag?" Dicky had the bag, the tickets, the places, everything.
It was to avoid all this that we " "Eloped," interjected Mr. Archibald. The good Peter laughed. "Perhaps you are right," said he. "But I shall have a word with that bicycle fellow when he comes this way. You are an original party, if there ever was one. First you go on somebody else's wedding-journey, and then you elope in the middle of the night, and now the best thing you can do is to go to bed.
Among animals living in communities it is a frequent custom for a young male, if badly beaten in his first love episode by a rival, to elope with a new spouse, and seek a home at some distance from the scene of his defeat.
Of course, it was very wrong of her to elope, very; but your husband is so obstinate that they knew he would never consent, and what else were they to do? I confess I should have done the very same thing. As to his not marrying her after all, that is absurd. He is devotedly attached to her, and he knows that with her beauty and spirit, she will soon be fit for good society.
