We were seated at table by the time our horses were tied up in the stables, and from the first minute there was a mirthful and lively exchange of talk. For my part I forthwith fell out with the Knight von Heideck, inasmuch as he was fain to sit betwixt Ann and me, and would have it that a gallant knight must ever be a more welcome neighbor to a damsel than her dearest woman-friend.
The whole crew, however, soon fell as much in love with the damsel as the boatswain had done before them; and it would have been cruel to have sent the painter to daub her ladyship all over with one uniform colour, according to the general fashion. The considerate commander took a different line. "You seem proud of your head, Mr. Clearpipe, I shall gild her for you!"
Surely thy frown is little to me, my son, if I save thee from a harm; and the damsel here is I shudder to think what; but never lay shadow across my threshold dark as this!
They were strengthened into certainty when I beheld the Aged enter at a side door, escorting a lady. "Halloa!" said Wemmick. "Here's Miss Skiffins! Let's have a wedding." That discreet damsel was attired as usual, except that she was now engaged in substituting for her green kid gloves a pair of white. The Aged was likewise occupied in preparing a similar sacrifice for the altar of Hymen.
"Well-a-day, ay," answered the afflicted damsel; "but maybe he could mak fair terms for us or, maybe, he could gie us some good advice or, maybe, he might send his orders to the dragoons to be civil or" "Or, maybe," said Morton, "you were to try if it were possible to set him at liberty?"

"No, it is not my father, I am quite sure, but " "But?" "But it might be Mynheer Jacob." Rosa rushed toward the staircase, and a door was really heard rapidly to close before the young damsel had got down the first ten steps. Cornelius was very uneasy about it, but it was after all only a prelude to greater anxieties. The flowing day passed without any remarkable incident.
The ballad-mongers took a wide range in their writings, and almost every subject seems to have called for their rhymes. There is a curious little song, dating back to 1601, entitled "O mother, a Hoop," in which the value of hoop-skirts is set forth by a fair damsel in terms that would delight a modern belle. It commences thus: "What a fine thing have I seen to-day! O mother, a Hoop!
Lewis Kennedy Morse, the treasurer, the college owes a debt of gratitude which it can never repay. No knight of old ever succored distressed damsel more valiantly, more selflessly, than these three twentieth-century gentlemen succored and served the beggar maid, Wellesley, in the cause of higher education.
"Never was lover more devoted; never damsel more shy: the poor student was reduced to despair. At length arrived the eve of St. John, when the lower classes of Granada swarm into the country, dance away the afternoon, and pass midsummer's night on the banks of the Darro and the Xenil.
