The clear outcry of the hoopoe startled the calm air, and that good little messenger came fluttering in haste to the window. Bound its neck was twined a golden dandelion, Gnulemah's love-token!
I am thinking it has been a love-token, puir fallow there's naebody sae rough but they hae aye a kind heart to the lasses and there's a book wi'a wheen papers, and I got twa or three odd things, that I'll keep to mysell, forby." "Upon my word, you have made a very successful foray for a beginner," said his new master. "Haena I e'en now?" said Cuddie, with great exultation.

A curious gold ornament has been of late years found in the field where Edwin was killed, and antiquaries allow us to imagine that it might have been a love-token from the Norman princess to the Saxon earl. Another fugitive in Hereward's camp was the high-spirited Abbot Frithric, whose steady opposition to the illegal encroachments of the Normans had given great offence to William.

What kind of a lover are you that you cannot guess that?" Feigning to flout him, she drew away; then feigning to relent, turned back and laughed it into his ear. "It is a love-token! To hold him to the fair promises he made at its giving, and to remind him of her, and to win her a crown, and to do so many strange wonders that no tongue can number them!
"My opinion," continued Corp, lowering his voice as if this were not matter for the child, "is that it's a love-token frae some London woman." "Behear's!" cried Gavinia. "Else what," he asked, "would make him hand it to me so solemn-like, and tell me to pass it on to her if he was drowned? I didna think o' that at the time, but it has come to me, Gavinia; it has come."
"A little scratch across your cheek, so! It is but the brand of your master, a love-token from José. Steady, now, little Maverick!" The girl struggled violently, but José was strong, such brawls were common, and those of the company who noticed at all, merely laughed at the girl's futile struggles.
