Ay, I will cut a lock of that bright hair of thine and send it for a love-token to Gudruda." But Eric still sat upon the rock thinking. Swanhild had set an evil seed of doubt in his heart, and already it put forth roots. What if the tale were true? What if Gudruda had given herself to Ospakar? Well, if so she should soon be a widow, that he swore.
The curse of a man who loved as I love upon the wretch who should violate a love-token so sacred as this why, the disembodied spirits of all who have loved and suffered would combine to execute it! 'Spirits! I said. 'Really, father, in times like these to talk of spirits! 'Ah, Henry! he replied, 'I was like you once.
And at that dread instant the man prevailed over the King; and far away from people and monk, from adjuration and duty, fled his heart on the wings of the storm fled to the cold wife he distrusted: and the pledge that should assure him of life, seemed as a love-token insulting his fall: Amidst all the roar of roused passions, loudest of all was the hiss of the jealous fiend.
By that table sat a girl, her brow leaning on one hand; in the other she held a rose, it is a love-token: exchanged with its sister rose, by stealth, in mute sign of reproach for doubt excited, an assurance and a reconciliation.

It excited forebodings of something terrible in my mind, and almost converted this too pastoral love-token into an awful admonition, pointing to a passion which might entail the expenditure of precious blood.
"You will forgive me, Lady Blakeney," said Sir Andrew, now as calm as she was herself, "if I resume the interesting occupation which you have interrupted?" "By all means, Sir Andrew! How should I venture to thwart the love-god again? Perhaps he would mete out some terrible chastisement against my presumption. Burn your love-token, by all means!"
Ralph wished to breakfast at one of the inns in New Galloway, but this Jock Gordon would not allow. He did not like that kind o' folk, he said. "Gie's tippens, an' that'll serve brawly," said Jock. Ralph drew out Winsome's purse; he looked at it reverently and put it back again. It seemed too early, and too material a use of her love-token. "Nae sillar in't?" queried Jock. "How's that?
