The dire infatuation of the lovelorn woman soon wore off, and again she sighed to be free; but it was too late, for the Catholic powers stood aloof from her now that she had married a divorced man, and all her nobles had abandoned her. So Mary clung to Bothwell still, for he was strong, and all Scotland cried shame upon her.
The pasture had been the best which the ingenuity of man had found for the maintenance of sheep. "Jack," said I, "what a poor, stupid, lovelorn boy you are!" "I daresay I am," said Jack, meekly. "You put the kisses of a pretty girl, who may perhaps make you a good wife, and, again, may make you a bad one, against all the world in arms." "I am quite sure about that," said Jack.

For nearly a century the Empress Josephine was pictured as the effigy of the faithful and suffering wife sacrificed upon the altar of unprincipled and selfish ambition lovelorn, deserted, heartbroken.

A basket for berries, a horn to call the lovelorn moose through the autumnal woods, a canvas on which to draw the outline of great and memorable fish all these and many other indispensable luxuries are stored up for the skilful woodsman in the birch bark.
