Still, I'd like you to understand that I haven't done this thing for what I could get out of it. I've done it for you. Please remember that, when you're counting up how much I've cost you on this trip. Count what I've saved you, too." "By Jove, I'm not likely to forget that!" said I. "If the thing had ended by my being the fiancé it doesn't bear dwelling on. But I want you to have the ring.
The Visigoths refused to allow one party to break an engagement without the consent of the other; and if a woman, being already engaged, went over to another man without her parent's or fiancé's leave, both she and the man who took her were handed over as slaves to the original fiancé. The other barbarians were content to inflict a money fine for breach of promise.
Miss Lawrence was twenty-six one year older than her fiance; and she had never received a proposal of marriage or listened to a word of love in her life before. Let me transpose that phrase she had never before received a proposal of marriage, and had never in her life listened to a word of love; for Preston had not spoken of love. She knew that he did not love her.
She was so full of novels and poetry and dreaminess and highfalutin nonsense she couldn't see ANYTHING as it really was. She'd study her mirror, and see such a heroine of romance there that she just couldn't bear to have a fiance who hadn't any chance of turning out to be the crown-prince of Kenosha in disguise!
Ah! in America the young lady she go everywhere alone; I have seen her pretty, charming, fascinating alone with the young man. But here, no, never! Regard me, my friend. The French mother, she say to her daughter's fiance, 'Look! there is my daughter. She has never been alone with a young man for five minutes, not even with you.

This is the identical note. You have all heard the various theories of the jar and have read the note. Here it is in plain, cold black and white in Dr. Dixon's own handwriting, as you know, and read: 'This will cure your headache. Dr. Dixon." Alma Willard seemed as one paralyzed. Was Kennedy, who had been engaged by her father to defend her fiancé, about to convict him?
Of course, mused he, with a shrug, he might have guessed it. No such beauty as this was wandering unclaimed about the world. Well, her fiancé, whoever he might be, was a lucky devil! Without doubt, confound his impudence, his arm had traveled the pathway of that band of leather scores of times. One couldn't blame the dog!
Bella's eyes began to rove, as I have before described; but she replied pretty promptly, "The brave lady herself; she brought me the anonymous letter for your defense." "Why, how came she to know about it?" "She did not tell me that. She was in a great hurry. Her fiance was waiting for her." "Was it necessary to kiss her in the hunting-field?" said Sir Charles, with something very like a frown.
One knew by the excited flush on the young man's face that he had rarely been paid so well. His eyes took on a glint of intelligence, one might almost say of hope, and he smiled egregiously, egotistically. His assurance grew with each step he took. As he opened the door of the luxurious car for her he wore an attitude of one who might possibly be a fiancé.
