Not one of them will put herself out of the way to-morrow; his reverence will have to say his Aves by himself We shall only see the jades who have got assignations.
Commentators differ on the question as to whether the poet really meant anything more in this poem than to sing of the death of a pet, and some have tried to ascribe to it a hidden meaning which implies beautiful slaves, lovers, and assignations; just as the wise Browning student discovers meanings in that great poet's works of which he never dreamed.
I would have a good lawyer, who would know how to make the most of that." "Have you nothing stronger to rely on?" "Listen; you shall tell me. My third pistol-shot is this that you were wont to make private assignations with Miss Lettice Campion, and that you had been seen dropping from her window, here in Brook Green, at midnight.

Campania and Apulia, both hitherto well-peopled regions, were still worse treated in the same war by friend and foe.
That he was in love with Barbara is, indeed, most true; but that his passion was dishonourable is likewise certain: for though he wrote her letters full of tenderness, and kept assignations with her at Butler's shop, on Ludgate Hill, he was the while negotiating a marriage with one Mrs. Fairfax, to whom he was not, however, united.
