Thus early had the youthful patron of the drama blossomed into notoriety, and having also commenced attendance at the Roman Catholic Chapel he had now resolved to become a priest, though curiously enough he began this career by eloping, as we are assured by Ramsay of Ochtertyre, with a Roman Catholic actress.
To add to her agitation at this crisis of her life, the top button came off her glove, and when that happened I felt the inutility of words. We passed the policemen on the Cathedral square with affected indifference. We believed we were not liable to arrest, but policemen, when one is eloping, have a forbidding look.
"I will go and take off this gown," she murmured, rising, "and we will run away like two eloping lovers." "Take off that gown? Why? It would be such a pity! You are so lovely as you are!" "Well," said Marsa, glancing down upon him with an almost mutinous smile, which lent a peculiar charm to her beauty, "I will not change this white gown, then; a mantle thrown over it will do.
I am not sure, but I think there was a moment when they thought of eloping some day, if nothing but the paternal displeasure intervened between them and happiness; but it was not yet time for this. There was much to be done first. What the father did first was to turn Patrick out of the house, under such circumstances of ignominy as he could devise.
Friendly warnings are unheeded; and if force be used to prevent the meetings, the couple may think of eloping. They may not have thought of marriage until this time; but when the girl realizes what she has done, she consents to the hasty marriage. Such marriages, Bessie, seldom result happily. "The place to stop was at the beginning. She should have gained control of her wandering affections.
He looked so shocked that he made me feel as if it were you and I, instead of Terry, who were doing the eloping. I'm sure that's what he thought. There'll be gossip. I shall have to pay the piper; but I'm too happy to-night to look ahead." "It hadn't occurred to me " Tabs hesitated. "I've been unpardonably inconsiderate. I see it now you'll be what they call compromised.
Most of the women we know don't go in for killing men; and a heap of them are married, anyway." "Anyway?" "Yes. You wouldn't expect a nice chap like Roland to be eloping with a married woman, would you? Not in real life?" Carroll with difficulty concealed a smile. The girl was a refreshing mixture of world-old wisdom and almost childish innocence.
Linga Sharira, the Astral Double, had been attached to it by a "delicate cord," which is our old friend "the thread of life" a convenient metaphor turned into a positive proposition. It is necessary, therefore, to be very quiet in the death-chamber, while the Linga Sharira is eloping.
But this also is no bad story. But Ellis could not know others, and he left alone yet others that he might have known the exquisite Sir Launfal of Thomas Chester at the beginning of the fifteenth century, where an unworthy presentment of Guinevere is compensated by the gracious image of Launfal's fairy love; the lively adventures of William of Palerne, who had a werewolf for his friend and an emperor's daughter for his love, eloping with her in white bear-skins, the unusual meat of which was being cooked in her father's kitchen; Sir Orfeo Orpheus and Eurydice, with a happy ending; Emarè, one of the tales of innocent but persecuted heroines of which Chaucer's Constance is the best known; Florence of Rome; the rather famous Squire of Low Degree; Sir Amadas, not a very good handling of a fine motive, charity to a corpse; many others.
What! had she not found out that the young villain had been on the point of eloping with her? If such a thing as that should succeed, the whole family was lost, and she was the only person who could prevent it. He trusted to her.
