Not long after they forgave him and went to get him, and they all went back to Kadalayapan. Ligi commanded his spirit attendants to take his sweethearts and kill them, for they told falsehoods about Aponibolinayen, so that he did not want her any more. This is all. There was a husband and wife who were Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen.
"It isn't every day the b'ys have a woman among them, an' I think yer presence'll soften 'em up a bit, an' make'm think of their mothers, sisters, an' sweethearts. An' then, ye'll sing some, won't ye?" he continued in a pleading manner. "Why, how do you know I can sing?" asked Constance, while some of the old colour rushed back to her cheeks. "Know?
It struck me just then that these two peasant lads had been invited on the strength of my wine, and that they were sweethearts with the girls. Smart young creatures eighteen, nineteen years old, and already up to anything. Well, if they reckoned on that wine now, they'd be mistaken! Not a drop....
While Le cher Francois then retired, to make his proposition to the audience, of substituting something for the Chaumiere the "sudden illness of Madame Baptiste having prevented her appearance," we began to renew our old acquaintance, by a thousand inquiries from that long-past time, when we were sweethearts and lovers.

These early imported specimens were generally of the larger kind, and if they were bred from which is doubtful it was by crossing with the already long-established King Charles or Blenheim Spaniels.
Sometimes there are mistakes: lads who have been reported killed turn up at the village on the appointed day, either hale and hearty or maimed and crippled. In either case they are welcome. But at times the mistake is the other way: no black report has come; the mothers, the fathers, the sweethearts, expect the young soldier home he does not come.
She and the General had been girl and boy together, and as they came to eighteen and nineteen had been semi-serious sweethearts. The embryo General no doubt because of her pretty face had taken all her student vagaries with lover-like seriousness, and had, on one occasion, assisted in a notable enterprise.
With these they began telling each other's fortunes, and it seemed to Lady Susanna that they were all as free with lovers and sweethearts as though the two ladies had been housemaids instead of being the wives of steady, well-born husbands. "That's a dark man, with evil designs, a wicked tongue, and no money," said Mrs. Houghton, as a combination of cards lay in Lady George's lap.
