"But they've gone!" he says. "See here! How you going to catch 'em? How you going to set 'em to hotel keeping when they elope off your hands? Where've they gone? That's the point.

"Marry Wilfred! Sure if you do," peering at her suspiciously, "that you won't elope with some one else?" "I may," said Ydo coolly. "Only I have had the experience twice before, and it doesn't amuse me." Again, for the life of him, Hayden could not decide whether this were the embroidery of fiction or the truth.
"Is my granddaughter here?" said the captain. "No." "Then where is she?". "I don't know." "But you ought to know you are her husband." "Only in name apparently," said Clym with rising excitement. "I believe she means to elope tonight with Wildeve. I am just going to look to it." "Well, she has left my house; she left about half an hour ago. Who's sitting there?" "My cousin Thomasin."
"I believe Rose left here for the very purpose she has accomplished, and not to visit Virginie Leblanc." "You believe that letter, then?" "Yes: I fear it is too true." "But, heavens above! What would she elope for? We were all willing she should marry La Touche." "I don't think it is with M. La Touche," I said, reluctantly. "I wish it were. I am afraid it is worse than that."

"It takes two to elope," interposed the Young Doctor, who thought that Kitty, in her humorous extravagance, was treading very dangerous ground indeed. He was thinking of Crozier and Kitty; but Kitty was thinking of Crozier, and meaning John Sibley.
He doesn't care.... To tell the truth, Vick, I suspect John wouldn't miss me before the month's bills were due, if I should elope to-night!" "I am not so sure, Belle." "Of course don't I know?
