She little thought that at that very time her lover was scouring the seas on board his ship in search of her. At last the vessel was once more before the wind, slowly gliding through the water. There seemed to her more bustle and animation than usual on deck.
Dorothy must receive the letter from her lover with no further stain from unauthorised eyes than that to which it had been already subjected. She was called in, therefore, from the kitchen, and the whole packet was given to her. "Your aunt has read the enclosure, Dolly; but we have not opened it." Dorothy took the packet without a word and sat herself down.
The girl must be sixteen, or thereabout, of decent behaviour and tractable, no gadder or lover of finery, healthy, able to read, an early riser, and, if possible, devout. For her parentage I need not trouble myself, if I knew of a girl suitable in these other respects.
A real elopement with a handsome lover just like the heroines in the story books. It was delightfully romantic, and yet there seemed to be something wrong about it. She was like a timid bather, longing to plunge into the water, yet hesitating through a vague fear.

But if ever she does, I think she will be wise enough never to say so to anyone." Satisfied by the mysterious air of the countess that M M had a lover, I made up my mind not to trouble myself about it, and having put on my mask I went to Muran in the afternoon.
Indeed, there are very few of us, men or women, who do not believe that even a hopeless love for ourselves is more conducive to the salvation of the lover than a requited affection for another. The criticism of Five Forks was, as the reader may imagine, swift and conclusive.
But," added Tom, softening down his irritated tone of voice, "even if Susey were a lady born I think a man would make a very great mistake, if he thought he could bring up a little girl to regard him as a father; and then, when she grew up, expect her to accept him as a lover." "Ah, you think that!" exclaimed Kenelm, eagerly, and turning eyes that sparkled with joy towards the lawn of Grasmere.
Yes, my heart aches for that poor mother; yes, we will help her. You and I, how very delightful it will be!" Now she came close to her lover and kissed him, and he returned her embrace. "You will never have a secret again from me, my darling?" he said.
