"The investments are all right," Mannering answered, "but I shall have nothing to do with fortune-hunters." "And I a Cabinet Minister!" Sir Leslie declared. "Miss Clara, let us have that walk." "To-morrow night," she promised. "When I get up it will be to go to bed. Even your love-making, Sir Leslie, could not keep me awake to-night." The Duchess rose.
Beauchamp knew her too well. Moreover, though tongue-tied as to love-making, he was in a hurry to be married. Jenny's eyes were lovely, her smiles were soft; the fair promise of her was in bloom on her face and figure. He could not wait; he must off to the parson.
He thought incredulously of the long decline in tenderness that had followed the first days of their delight in each other, the diminution of endearment, the first yielding to irritability, the evenings he had spent doggedly working, resisting all his sense of her presence. "One cannot always be love-making," he had said, and so they were slipping apart.
The only thing that at all puzzled him, unpleasantly connected with that unsuccessful little freak of musical love-making, was the fellow they saw getting away from under the open window the very same at which Lilias Walsingham had unintentionally surprised her friend Gertrude.
It's so seldom that I see you alone; and now that fortune is kind to me I must speak as best I can. I won't make myself ridiculous in your eyes if I can help it. You despise the love-making of ballrooms and garden parties; so do I, most heartily. Let me speak like a man who has few illusions to overcome.

You know perfectly well that friendship can exist between a man and a woman without there being any thought of love-making." "Oh, I know what you are going to say. But there is the difference between love and friendship. To those who have witnessed a bull-fight, the circus I hear is commonplace." "You mean to imply that my husband was enjoying a bull-fight?" "I don't mean anything of the sort.
It could not stand against the breathless impetuosity of Max's love-making not when her own heart was eager and aching to respond. "Thank you, Max," she said simply, extending her hand. He put it aside, drawing her into his embrace. "Beloved," he said, and now there was no passion, no fierceness of desire in his voice, only unutterable tenderness.
He was just the man to have for a cousin a true loving cousin, stalwart, self-confident, with a grain or two of tyranny in his composition as becomes a man in relation to his intimate female relatives; and one, moreover, with whom she could trust herself to be familiar without any danger of love-making! She saw his character clearly, and told herself that she understood it perfectly.
In Confucius there is not only male and female, but also superior and inferior, master and servant. Without any love-making or courtship by those most interested, a marriage between two young people is arranged by their parents through the medium of what is called a "go-between."
She had little else to amuse her, and therefore played at love-making in all its forms. She was now playing at it with Mr. Arabin, and did not at all expect the earnestness and truth of his answer. "All in your power would be nothing," said he, "for Mrs. Bold is, I imagine, already engaged to another." "Then you own the impeachment yourself."
