Faire Christabelle, that ladye bright, Was had forth of the towre: But ever she droopeth in her minde, As, nipt by an ungentle winde, Doth some faire lillye flowre. That evening, the last of their stay at Montepoole, Fleda was thought well enough to take her tea in company. So Mr. Carleton carried her down, though she could have walked, and placed her on the sofa in the parlour.
By the time Keith was back again with Jonesy, the other guests had arrived, and the Little Colonel had been lowered into a deep feed-bin, in lieu of a dungeon. The banquet began in great state, but in a few moments was interrupted by a fearful shrieking from the depths of the bin. The fair ladye protested that she would not stay in her dungeon. "There's nasty big spidahs down heah!" she called.
Now, Mollie, what got ME in all this, was that them Chivalry folks ez was always jawin' about their 'Southern dames' and their 'Ladye fairs, and always runnin' that kind of bilge water outer their scuppers whenever they careened over on a fair wind was jes the kind to throw off on a woman when they didn't want her, and I kinder thought I'd like HER to see the difference betwixt the latitude o' Charleston and Cape Cod.
With her finger upon the seal a big drop of red wax, like a petrified blood-gout, stamped with the Aylett coat-of-arms she leaned through the casement to watch for the flutter of Rosa's white dress among the vari-colored maples shading the lawn sang a clear, sweet second to the song that ascended to her eyrie: "Why weep ye by the tide, ladye?

For himself he was ready to subsist on bread and water and to labor more than fourteen hours at the case to make the issue of the Liberator possible. But surely he could not put "a fair ladye" on such limited commons even for the sake of his cause.
Pym." Failing in this, they pronounce the pretty creature to be "a divell, not a very downright divell, but some Lapland ladye, once by nature a handsome white ladye, now by art a handsome white dogge." The Civil War is begun. The King has made his desperate attempt to arrest the five members of Parliament, and been checkmated by Lucy Carlisle.

Lord Ronald strode over the stony floor, Not a hand was outstretched to stay; Lord Ronald has passed through the gaping door, Not an eye ever traced the way. And the ladye, left widowed, was prized above All the maidens in hall and bower, Many bartered their lives for that ladye's love, And their souls for that ladye's dower.
