'And though she found his usage rough, Yet in a man 'twas well enough! he hummed, with his head on one side and an impudent leer. 'We are interrupting the turtledoves, Mr. Thomasson, and had better be gone. 'Curse you! Why did you ever come? my lord cried furiously. 'But she won't have me. So there! Now you know. Mr. Pomeroy struck an attitude of astonishment.
"And they were like two turtledoves the night that other gal come here. It don't seem possible. I swan! That's why she's so on her beam ends, I bet a cake!" "It may be. She wouldn't say much. I didn't understand, though, that they had quarreled. Only that she'd made up her mind that she wouldn't marry." "Oh, she'll change her mind!" said Cap'n Ira, wagging his head. "Do you think so? Not so easy.
I have watched you, and I own a prettier pair of turtledoves I never saw. Well, you have got love and I have got money. I'll take care of you both. But you must live with me. I promise never to marry." This brought Zoe round his neck, with tears and kisses of pure affection. He returned them, and parted her hair paternally.
Well, perhaps we can compensate them for it, and allow these turtledoves to make the last trip the trip to the stake together. No, no, we will not separate them in death. Together they may lay their heads on the block."
Laurie had christened it, saying it was highly appropriate to the gentle lovers who 'went on together like a pair of turtledoves, with first a bill and then a coo'. It was a tiny house, with a little garden behind and a lawn about as big as a pocket handkerchief in the front.
And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
The pretty, picturesque town of Carnarvon, in North Wales, was to be the nest of the turtledoves during the honeymoon then away to the Continent, then back for the Christmas festivities at Catheron Royals. Catheron Royals was fast becoming a palace for a princess its grounds a sort of enchanted fairy-land.
The Marchioness of Isola Bella, that was the name of the story; and if Flibbertigibbet and Freckles on their narrow cots in the bare upper dormitory of the Orphan Asylum on nd Street, did not dream of sapphire lakes and snow-crowned mountains, of marble palaces and turtledoves, of lovely ladies and lordly men, of serenades and guitars and ropes of pearl, it was not the fault either of Luigi Poggi or the Marchioness of Isola Bella.
It is to be remarked that the human species, the turtledoves and the pigeons alone are acquainted with kisses; thence came among the Latins the word columbatìm, which our language has not been able to render. There is nothing of which abuse has not been made. The kiss, designed by nature for the mouth, has often been prostituted to membranes which do not seem made for this usage.
O brave marsh marybuds, rich and yellow, Give me your money to hold! O columbine, open your folded wrapper, Where two twin turtledoves dwell! O cuckoopint, toll me the purple clapper That hangs in your clear green bell! And show me your nest with the young ones in it; I will not steal them away; I am old! you may trust me, linnet, linnet I am seven times one to-day. By Eugene Field
