"Next time you go courting a young lady in secret," said Silas, "make sure that the moon goes down first, or wait for a cloudy sky.
After I once understood the crime of the upper classes, I could not go on living with my parents. Not a single charitable word was to be heard in our home from year's end to year's end; there was nothing but the talk of vile office intrigues, and of promotion and of salaries, and of courting the favour of the chiefs. The mere idea of marrying one day such another man as my father made me shudder.
On the night after that, and on the following night, and for many nights and days, so many that he began to be uncertain about the count of them, Oleron, courting, cajoling, neglecting, threatening, beseeching, eaten out with unappeased curiosity and regardless that his life was becoming one consuming passion and desire, continued his search for the unknown co-numerator of his abode.
It's nicer courting in this room where you can see the garden and the grand hills. You're going to give Louise the little gray mare you lassooed last year, aren't you? I always think of Louise when I look at that gray mare.
The squire would have liked to see me courting the girl of his heart, as he termed Janet Ilchester, a little more demonstratively.

It has given up conspiracies, Carbonaroism, and revolts with weapons; it is now sapping and mining, and the day is coming when it will be able to say, 'Out of that and let me in! Do you think I have been courting Rabourdin's wife for my own pleasure? No, but I got much information from her.
Everybody knows that Killdeer seldom misses; and ought we to make a trial of this sort when we all know what must be the result?" "Tut, tut, man! I foresee I must do half this courting for you. For one who is always inside of the smoke in a skirmish, you are the faintest-hearted suitor I ever met with.
"You have kept away from me purposely?" she asked. "I do not blame your discretion." "I am not courting trouble. And as long as you are contented yonder " "I contented?" She drew up, paling.

Dozens of men will come courting you as soon as you go out again, and any one of them will make you a better husband than I should have done; but not a better friend. I hope you will always remember that." "Many thanks. Will you be so very kind as to release my hands, Captain Carey? They ache." "One moment.
