"Ed Sorenson better keep an eye on his little turtledove," he remarked. And touching heel to his animal he swung ahead for town. For one dazed minute they stared after him. "Shoot him!" she suddenly said, through shut teeth. "I haven't my gun along, or I'd be glad to oblige you." "He deserves killing, the wretch!" "On more accounts than one," he replied, quietly.
I only know that she calls herself Henriette, that she must be a Frenchwoman, that she is as gentle as a turtledove, that she has evidently received a good education, and that she enjoys good health. She is witty and courageous, as we have both seen, I in Rome and you in Cesena at General Spada's table.
The cause or causes of the increase of the turtledove are not far to seek.
Another species, also said to be increasing in the country the turtledove, was extremely abundant. In the tall beech woods its low, montonous crooning note was heard all day long from all sides. In shady places, where the loud, shrill bird-voices are few, one prefers this sound to the set song of the woodpigeon, being more continuous and soothing, and of the nature of a lullaby.

Meg is the turtledove, and Amy is like the lark she writes about, trying to get up among the clouds, but always dropping down into its nest again. Dear little girl! She's so ambitious, but her heart is good and tender, and no matter how high she flies, she never will forget home. I hope I shall see her again, but she seems so far away."
"I am going to finish this turtledove first, though," said Tabea gayly. It was finally agreed that if Tabea would speak to the director on behalf of the sisterhood, the sisters would resolutely stand by their threat, and that they would absent themselves from Brother Friedsam's music drills long enough to have him understand that they were not to be treated like children.
This man, Caleb said, was a great one for birds: he knew them all, but seldom said anything about them; he watched and found out a good deal about them just for his private pleasure. The characteristic species of this part of the down country, comprising the parish of Winterbourne Bishop, are the pewit, magpie, turtledove, mistle-thrush, and starling.
For more than a century after Milton, the majority of references to nature were made in general terms and were borrowed from the stock illustrations of older poets, like Vergil. We find the conventional lark, nightingale, and turtledove. Nothing new or definite is said of them. Increasing comforts and safety in travel now took more people where they could see for themselves the beauty of nature.
First of all she went to see the sinister prophetess, Sister Jael. "I've finished that turtledove, Sister Jael, and now I am going to leave the sisterhood and marry Daniel Scheible." Nothing is so surprising to a prophet as the fulfillment of his most confident prediction.
