Pursuit was hopeless. As Lackaday had planned to go to Vichy, he went to Vichy. There seemed nothing else to do. "But why elope at dawn?" I cried. "Why all the fellow's unnecessary duplicity? Why, in the name of Macchiavelli, did he seize upon my ten o'clock invitation with such enthusiasm? Why his private conversation with me? Why throw dust into my sleepy eyes? What did he gain by it?"
"Wait until I get Married," Florine would say. "I'll make that 20-hour Flyer look like a Steam-Roller. If Mother doesn't let up on me, I'll learn to smoke Cigarettes." At times she was so Desperate that she was ready to join a Troupe or elope with a Drummer. She wanted to get out among the Bright Lights and hear the Band play.
Don Honorius, for it was he who had assumed the disguise of the slave, proves to be the wonder of his sex. He persuades her to elope to the house of one of his relations, and after Lepidio has secured a divorce, marries her with great felicity. London masquerades, as the title indicates, play a large part in the plot.
Wagers were laid that the fiery little Colonel would shoot some one in a jealous fit, or that Pelagie would elope, or both charcoal themselves to death, as the best way out of the predicament. But none of them guessed how tragically it would really end.
In 1824 John Randolph said: "It is notorious that the profits of slave labor have been for a long time on the decrease, and that on a fair average it scarcely reimburses the expense of the slave," and concluded by prophesying that a continuance of the tendency would bring it about "in case the slave shall not elope from his master, that his master will run away from him."
When Kenerley returned to the group on the veranda a wild shout greeted him, inquiring where Patty was. "I told you she was going to elope," returned Jim; "I was merely helping her along. I left her just outside the gate on her way to meet her rustic swain." "Nonsense, Jim," said his wife, "where did she go? Over to the Crosbys'?" "She didn't say anything to me about the Crosbys.
I am going to elope when I get married!" "I hope you won't have such bad taste. Of course they ought not to have got married that way. But the thing that bothers your father, is that the lady Maurice has married is is older than he." "How much older?" Edith demanded; "a year?" "I don't just know. Probably twenty years older."
Experience shows that all ages fall in love and out again; so that, to quote the pithy Bacon again, "a man may have a quarrel to marry when he will." Octogenarians elope, and Mr. Gilbert's elderly baby died a blase old roue of five. Romeo's passion was a second, not a first, love: he had already loved Rosaline.
Having been brought up in a convent, where she was taught to obey her mother and forbidden to think of marriage, Claire was naturally delighted with the idea of an elopement. "To where will we elope to?" she demanded. Her English, as she learned it from Billy, was sometimes confusing. "To New York," said Billy.
"What you going to do with it?" she demanded. "Give it back to Breck." She grasped my wrist. "You little fool!" she exclaimed. "But he wants me to run off with him. He wants me to elope." "He does!" she ejaculated, her eyes large. "Well?" she inquired. I stared up at Edith on the step above me in silence. "Well?" she repeated. "You don't mean " I began. "His mother is sure to come around in time.
