If, however, a young man being deeply smitten with love, or for any other reason, elopes with a fair one before he has accumulated a sufficient fortune to defray the expense of such a luxury, it is common enough for him to pay down what money or valuables he may have, and give security for the remainder.
I believe your family know where poor Moritz is, for your mother speaks of him as one in the penitentiary, and quite triumphantly she told me yesterday that the king, in his new book of laws, had expressly condemned the person who elopes with a minor to be sent to the house of correction for ten years, and then she laughed so cruelly, that I trembled to hear her."
Surely there had been a wife? "Certainly twenty years ago. I saw her." The answer came readily. "She ran away?" "Not in the usual sense. There was no one, I understand, to run with.

I 'm going to-day, before the boss comes home." "Well, then, what am I going to do? You 're not going off to leave me?" Silence for the space of ten seconds. "Jiminy! Tell you what, you come too!" "I can't! Mamma wouldn't let me!" "Don't ask her. Come right along with me! We 'll elope! That's more fun than anything! Girls that is anything always elopes!"
Some of the early white men were more or less promiscuous and set a bad moral example with regard to the women. The native believed that in this respect "the white man can do no wrong" and the inevitable laxity resulted. When a woman deserts her husband now all she gets is a sound beating. If a man elopes with the wife of a friend, he is haled before a magistrate and fined.
"They're made that way." "You don't mean it!" "The best thing for 'em is hotel keeping." "Eh!" "Nothing like it, you can take my word. 'Pemberton's Hotel. Pemberton and Buckingham, Owners and Proprietors. B. Corliss, Manager. Peace, Propriety, and Patronage. Aye, that's it. They get restless. If they elopes, let 'em keep a hotel. Nothing like it." "Whew, whew!" whistled Andrew McCulloch.
That Felix Kennaston inhabits Lichfield in the flesh and in the spirit elopes into Poictesme may be taken, after a fashion, as allegory with an autobiographical foundation: The Cream of the Jest is, on the whole, the essence of Cabell.
The king quarrels with his mistress. Miss Stuart contemplates marriage. Lady Castlemaine attempts revenge. Charles makes an unpleasant discovery. The maid of honour elopes. His majesty rows down the Thames. Lady Castlemaine's intrigues. Fresh quarrels at court. The king on his knees.
