But from her point of view this falsehood was not so alluring as he meant to make it sound. "'Twould be wrong to kiss any maiden, I reckon, onless you was tokened to her or she were your awn sister."
But Béla, having worked himself up into a fit of obstinate rage, was not content with Elsa's passive obedience. There had from the first crept into his half-educated but untutored and undisciplined mind the knowledge that though Elsa was tokened to him, though she was submissive, and gentle and even-tempered, her heart did not belong to him.
Chief Ishikola of Su'u had offered five twenties of drinking coconuts for her, and Bau, a bush chief, had offered two chickens on the beach at Malu. But this last offer had been accompanied by a sneer, and had tokened the old rascal's scorn of the girl's scrawniness.
Mother's guessed part an' she tawld faither I weer gwaine daft or else in love wi' some pusson else than Joe. An' faither was short an' sharp, an' took me out walkin', an' bid me bide at home an' give over trapsin' 'bout.

My Mary was tokened in a sort of childish way to a man called Nathan Coaker a horse-stealer or little better, and a devil of a rogue, anyway.

I guess he's made his fortune and be coming in triumph to marry her." "She's going to marry me, however." "So you think."
"I'll ax one question afore I go on, and, if the answer's what I fear, I'll trouble you no more," he said. "In a word, be you tokened again? I suppose you be, for you're not the sort to go begging.
