"So I guessed and I thank you nay, I thank you not for so misjudging me." And the fire in the hazel eyes upraised to his, dried the tears sharply. "Why, what now! Dost want thy troth-plight lover slain?" "No in truth, nor do I want my troth-plight friend, for thou art that now, slain; but neither do I want the one nor the other to lurk safely at home when his brothers are at the war.
I have told him, said she, blushing, but determined to say the whole out at once, 'that I am all but troth-plight to a young man of our own village at home; and, even putting all that on one side, I wish not for marriage at present. 'Wish rather for conversion and regeneration. Marriage is an unseemly word in the mouth of a maiden.
This manner of treating the subject was not a flattering one; however, we had his consent, and that was the main point, after all. So we were troth-plight; and William went forth on his career of labor and success, and I remained at home, loving him, living for him, striving to make my every act what he would have it.
She plainly shrank from doing it. Perhaps he would help her to bear it best." "How should he be the best?" I said. "Mrs Raymond might " "Why, Cary, is it possible you do not know that Raymond and Miss Keith are troth-plight?" "Troth-plight! Mr Raymond! Annas!" I started up in my astonishment. Here was a turning upside down of all my notions!
Yet shall all be as thou wilt." "How shall I not do after thy bidding?" said Ralph. "I will abide their coming: yet would that they were here to-day! And one thing I will pray of thee, that because of them thou wilt not forbear, or cause me to forbear, such kissing and caressing as is meet betwixt troth-plight lovers." She laughed and said: "Nay, why should I torment thee...or me?
In a little time came two more maidens, and betwixt them one so much fairer than any there, that my heart sank within me: whereas I deemed because of her fairness that this would be the fore-doomed love whereof ye spake, and lo, she was in nought like to my troth-plight maiden, save that she was exceeding beauteous: nevertheless, heart-sick as I was, I determined to abide the token that ye told me of.
But to the grief of both, they learned upon their arrival that the princess had just been betrothed to a wild Cornish hero, Haco, and the wedding feast was to be held that very day. Sigtryg at once sent a troop of forty Danes to King Alef demanding the fulfilment of the troth-plight between himself and his daughter, and threatening vengeance if it were broken.

But now will we twain talk of matters that concern chieftains who are going on a hard adventure. And ye women, do ye dight the Hall for the evening feast, which shall be the feast of the troth-plight for you twain.

For she put "Little Witch" into a brisk canter, and with a smile upon her face rode into the main street of the village.
