Elberfeld had a niece living with him, who, so far from sharing her uncle's hatred of the Dutch race, had secretly fallen in love with a young Dutch officer. Knowing her uncle's aversion to their foreign masters and jealousy of their power, she did not dare to ask for his consent to the marriage. At last she arranged to elope with her lover.
Alyosha, carried away himself by his recollection, warmly expressed his theory that this disgrace was probably just that fifteen hundred roubles on him, which he might have returned to Katerina Ivanovna as half of what he owed her, but which he had yet determined not to repay her and to use for another purpose—namely, to enable him to elope with Grushenka, if she consented.
Then when Jack Hood rides in this afternoon, I'll take him where he can see 'em together. Leave the rest to me. Will you? I'll have Jack Hood scared she's going to elope before morning, and Jack will do the rest. You know his way." "Suppose Hood gets killed?" "Killed by that? Jack Hood? Why, you know he's near as good as you with his gat!" Dunbar nodded slowly.
Directly she admitted her name and former intimacy with Bluebell, Harry took her entirely into his confidence, and, encouraged by the evident interest with which she listened, related how he had first met and fallen in love with Bluebell on the steamer, and subsequently persuaded her to elope with him.
Thereafter he came often to the house and gradually played himself into the affection of the young girl, who after some hesitation consented to marry him and elope with him to a distant city. Thus Imtiazan left the house of her girlhood and fled with her husband to Bombay.
"Very straight of her to elope with another man, wasn't it? And as for pluck, why, she couldn't even stick to him when she'd done it." "Hush, Eva!" Herrick's brow wore the frown she hated, and, secretly, feared. "You were never fair to that unhappy girl; and both you and I know very well that had you acted differently half this misery would have been spared." "I was unfair to her?"
Cyrus, with her light cackle, "your mother was a little romantic when she was young. No doubt she has conquered it now. But she tried to elope with my father-in-law." "What!" "Oh, bygones should be bygones," Mrs. Cyrus said, soothingly; "forgive and forget, you know.
"I saw him looking at it. Accordingly, I paid no attention to what he said. But you ah, Jack, you were splendid! I suppose we shall have to elope at once now, though?" Charteris gave her no immediate answer. "I am not quite sure, Patricia, that your husband is not to a certain extent in the right. Believe me, he did not know you were about.
And then I want to float for another while on the very top-most crest of society. I want to fight a duel or two, elope with a marquise, do a little of everything for the experience's sake, as a man ought to take opium once in his life just to know how it feels."
"Certainly not; 'twould be to entail upon her a life of misery." "It's her fortune he's after, that's evident, and indeed I would hurry to Lansdale, if I were you, lest they might take it into their heads to elope. Such a shame as it would be for him to get her the dear, sweet darling!"
