I hold that sort of engagement to be a debt of honour as sacred as the marriage vow itself." "Even though she realizes that she is going to make a mistake?" said Juliet, beginning to search the coat. "Whatever the circumstances," he said. "An engagement can only be broken by mutual consent. Otherwise, the very word becomes a farce. I have no sympathy with jilts of either sex.
Seven years is quite an average time for an engagement, during which they do their love-making in a simple, unaffected manner. No man ever jilts a woman, and broken engagements are almost unknown. In Greece parents pay a man to marry their daughter, and no man may marry till all his own sisters are provided with trousseaux and dowers.
Youth is headstrong, and kissing goes by favour; so Angelica, queen of Cathay, and beauty of the world, jilts warriors and kings, and marries a common soldier. And what a creature is this Angelica! what effect has she not had upon the world in spite of all her faults, nay, probably by very reason of them!
To say the truth, there are jilts in friendship as well as in love; and, by the behaviour of some men in both, one would almost imagine that they industriously sought to gain the affections of others with a view only of making the parties miserable. This was the consequence of the colonel's behaviour to Booth.
Victorious Betty, be merciful, and do not ruin my Reputation amongst my Friends. Flaunt. Your Whores you mean, you Sot you. Sir Tim. Nay, triumphant Betty, hear thy poor Timmy. Flaunt. My poor Ninny, I'm us'd barbarously, and won't endure it. Sir Tim. I've won Money to Night, Betty, to buy thee Clothes hum hum Well said, Frank, towse the little Jilts, they came for that purpose. Flaunt.
So, she jilts me, and I get a pistol, or I get a neat bit of rope, or I take a clean header with a cannon-ball at my heels, or I go to the chemist's and ask for stuff to poison rats, anything a fool'd do under the circumstances, it don't matter what." Old Anthony waited for Rhoda to jump over a stile, and said to her, "He laughs at the whole lot of ye." "Who?" she asked, with betraying cheeks.
They were angered because they were being angrily smote. It seemed to her that everything was smote in jilts of unpredictable existence, and love itself was no guarantee of anything. It was selfishly using a child and being used and merely this.
He had learned to ride, and to drink, and to shoot flying: and he had a small court, the sons of the huntsman and woodman, as became the heir-apparent, taking after the example of my lord his father. She don't care about my head now. They're like that women are all the same, Harry, all jilts in their hearts.
"It's very hard to know; very. I don't much admire such jilts myself, but " "Miss Waddington did not jilt him, madam." "Then he jilted her. That's just what I want to come at. I'm very much obliged to you, my dear. I see you can tell me all about it. It was about money, wasn't it?" "No," shouted Adela, with an energy that quite surprised herself. "Money had nothing to do with it."
For my part I will kiss Fortune while I may, and if she jilts me afterwards " "Wulf," called Rosamund from without the curtain, "cease talking of kissing at the top of your voice, I pray you, and leave Godwin to sleep, for he needs it." And she entered the little chamber, bearing a bowl of broth in her hand.
