Regina took the book from her hand, turned over the leaves, and read: "'All probationers must be unbetrothed, and their heart still free.... 'A short life history of the previous inward and outward experiences of the future Deaconess pupil. It must be composed and written by herself. Olga, what would you do with your past?" "I have buried it, dear.
My heart has known no other love, my hand has never been bestowed apart from it. I am still your maiden sister, unmarried, unbetrothed: your own loving old Marion, in whose affection you exist alone and have no partner, Grace! She understood her now.

Elizabeth was more than once betrothed in her childhood to aid her father's policy, but when Henry died, in 1547, his younger daughter was unbetrothed.

At sixteen, Clara found it agreeable to have her good graces sought by the one man in whom she recognised superiority of mind and purpose. Of all the unbetrothed girls she knew not one but would have felt flattered had Kirkwood thus distinguished her.
