But Nestor of Gerenia, lord of chariots, would needs have Telemachus, son of divine Odysseus, to sleep there on a jointed bedstead beneath the echoing gallery, and by him Peisistratus of the good ashen spear, leader of men, who alone of his sons was yet unwed in his halls. As for him he slept within the inmost chamber of the lofty house, and the lady his wife arrayed for him bedstead and bedding.
Culpepper's animation dropped like the light of a torch that is dowsed. 'Put up thy pot skewer, he said; 'my Kat is tall and fairish and unwed. Ha' ye not seen her with the Lady Mary of England's women? The young Poins, zealous to be rid of the matter, answered fervently: 'Never. She is not talked of in the Court. 'That is the best hearing, Thomas Culpepper said.
A vision came to the dreamer's fancy: Widewood's forests filled with thrifty settlers, mines opened, factories humming by the brooksides, the locomotive's whistle piercing the stony ears of the Sleeping Giant; Suez full of iron-ore, coal, and quarried stone, and Fannie a widow, or possibly still unwed, charmed by his successes, touched by his constancy, and realizing at last the true nature of what she had all along felt as only a friendship.
Tell me, Cherry, dost thou love me well enough to be my little wife one day? for by the mass I will have none other; and if thou lovest me not I will go unwed all the days of my life!"
He didn't even want to come or go, particularly. A rather frumpy old bachelor, with thinning hair and a thickening neck. Much has been written about the unwed, middle-aged woman; her fussiness, her primness, her angularity of mind and body. In the male that same fussiness develops, and a certain primness, too. But he grows flabby where she grows lean.
They went into the larder and Mrs. Tolhurst began: "I hardly lik to say it to you, Miss Joanna, being a single spinster ..." This was a bad beginning, for Joanna flamed at once at the implication that her spinsterhood put her at any disadvantage as a woman of the world. "Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Tolhurst; I may be unwed as yet, but I'm none of your Misses."
Her lips were red and full; the nose was a saucy stub; the eyes he could not see; they were downcast, intent upon her filling pail and the rising creamy foam; but he knew them to be an Irish blue-gray. "Since the farmer's unwed you've no cause to dread From his wife, you must allow. And for kisses three 'Tis myself is he The farmer will free your cow."
'Tell me what message you have from the Fair-Girdled. 'Wed or unwed, she is yours. But she is kept in a tower until Palm Sunday. Then they bring her out and marry her to what remains of a black Normandy pig. 'Spine of God, said Richard, examining his finger-nails. 'Swear by His heart, rather, my Count, Gaston said, 'for you have a red heart in your keeping.
To deal plainly, if they only married when they fell in love, most people would die unwed; and among the others, there would be not a few tumultuous households. The Lion is the King of Beasts, but he is scarcely suitable for a domestic pet. In the same way, I suspect love is rather too violent a passion to make, in all cases, a good domestic sentiment.
Nevertheless it is well-known that I have given up to the town a larger measure of time and labor and moneys than many a town-mayor and captain of watch. Of this I make mention to the end that those who come after me shall not charge me with evil self-seeking. Likewise some may ask me wherefor I, the last male offspring of the old Schopper race, have gone through life unwed.
