As the dove to her dove-cot from the swooping hawk as the Christian pinnace to Christian batteries, from the bloody Mahometan corsair, so flew so tried to fly towards the anchoring thickets, that, alas! could not weigh their anchors and make sail to meet her the poor exhausted Kate from the vengeance of pursuing frost.
A tolerable, though old-fashioned garden, a well-stocked dove-cot, and the possession of any quantity of ground which the convenience of the family might require, rendered the place in every respect suitable, as the advertisements have it, 'for the accommodation of a genteel family. Here, then, Mannering resolved, for some time at least, to set up the staff of his rest.
This dove-cot, or columbarium, as the owner called it, was no small resource to a Scottish laird of that period, whose scanty rents were eked out by the contributions levied upon the farms by these light foragers, and the conscriptions exacted from the latter for the benefit of the table.

This dove-cot is felicity. This very day she will meet him." "Go along with you, Pirka! It is all nonsense." "Well, well, my little lady, we shall see. The cards never lie. This very night she will see him." "He is far away; who knows how far?" sighed Michal.
