I soon found, much to my disappointment, that there is a marked difference between a husband and a lover: it was at least so in the case of Mr. Smith, and observation, since I have had my eyes open, satisfies me that it is so in most cases.
No doubt, not to be a governess, but a young lady free from the embarrassing necessity of earning bread, free to have a lover and a husband, would be upon the whole nicer. So it is nicer to be born to £10,000 a year than to have to wish for £500.
When a girl has to choose between a young lover and an elderly one, it isn't always good sense that directs her choice. Is Miss Wenna Rosewarne at all like her sister?" "She's not such a tomboy," he said, "but she is quite as straightforward and proud, and quick to tell you what is the right thing to do. There's no sort of shamming tolerated by these two girls.
The girl is very timid, she will not speak; but the way in which I coaxed her to-day is sure to take effect. Why should it not succeed? Am I not Debendra? Learn well, oh lover! the art of winning hearts!" Then Hira said: "It has become very late; now good-bye," and smiling gently she arose and departed. Debendra fell into a drunken sleep.
Some day I will come and sing songs with thee. And all I ask is one poor little kiss in return for my gift." "I would not give away a poor little kiss," she answered with well-feigned indignation. "No. Forgive me. It shall be the sweetest thing in the whole wide world. Primrose, I am glad I can never be a lover to sue to thee. Thou wilt wring many a heart. And now I must go.
"Now that you have had your cruise in your ship of happiness on the waters of your cerulean imagination, permit me, who am land-born and a lover of the chase, to put my steed at a few fences in the difficult country of unadorned facts over which I propose to hunt the wily fox, matrimony. I have never hunted a fox, but I can quite well imagine what it is like.
"What sign, or signal, told the young maiden that her lover was nigh?" asked the Huron with more curiosity than it was usual for him to betray. Deerslayer laughed again, and seem'd to enjoy the success of the exploit, with as much glee as if he had not been its victim. "Your squirrels are great gadabouts, Mingo," he cried still laughing-"yes, they're sartainly great gadabouts!
Deliverance had been too great and sudden, and those things which had come so near to us both Death and the Beyond had left a salt and bitter spray on our lips. "And what of the Lady Ysolinde?" I asked of the Bishop. Now the Bishop Peter was a good man, but, like many of his brethren, a lover of great, swelling words.
If I had a brother, I would not let him go. 'How would you detain him? 'Locks and bolts, clock wrong, hands and arms, kneeling the fourth act of the Huguenots! 'He went by way of the window, I think. But that was a lover. 'Oh! well! she flushed.
Her flight to the Zabel cottage, after an experience which would madden most women, can now be understood. She was still following her lover. The plan of making Agatha's old and wretched friend amenable for her death originated with Frederick and not with Amabel. It was he who first started for the Zabel cottage. It was he who left the bank bill there.
