Ay, ay! thou thinkest that love is a strange word on a craftsman's lips, but 'cold flint hides hot fire. I would not have been thy rival, Heaven forefend! hadst thou still cherished a hope, or if thou now wilt forbid my aspiring; but if thou wilt not say me nay, I will try my chance in delivering a pure soul from a crafty wooer."
Alice was not rich, but she could manage as much as that, if he advised it, and he would advise it. Then with her twenty-first year, if Stephen or any other wooer were to the fore, the crisis must be faced, and the child must know! and it would be a cold-blooded lover that would weigh her story against her face.
So she told him now, with as much graciousness as she could command, that she fully realized her debt, and when, encouraged, he spoke of his reward, she smiled upon him as might a girl smile upon too impetuous a wooer whose impetuosity she deprecates yet cannot wholly withstand. "I am a widow of six months," she reminded him, as she had reminded him once before.
The die was cast. Lady Maulevrier might dread the hazard of evil tongues, of slanderous memories; but she could not recall her consent to Lesbia's début. The girl was already launched; she had been seen and admired. The next stage in her career must be to be wooed and won by a worthy wooer.
Why must a woman never evince a preference for the man she loves?" "Woman should be wooed never be wooer," said Lord Arleigh. "Again I say you are hard, Norman. According to you, a woman is to break her heart in silence and sorrow for a man, rather than give him the least idea that she cares for him." "I should say there is a happy medium between the Duchess of Gérolstein and a broken heart.
He did this several times, and hesitated in his speech, reddened, and left her, stumbling over the grass like a lame man. Never such a crazy wooer, never a calmer maiden. She looked unutterable sentiment, but spoke it not. When he teased her about her music, she became a statue. She was too timid to play before artists; her only master had been her father.
He showed love in every mood, from the rapture of pure passion in the Lea Rig, the maidenly abandon of Whistle and I'll come to you, my Lad, to the humour of Last May a Braw Wooer and Duncan Gray, and the guileless devotion of O wert thou in the Cauld Blast. But he sang of more than love.
Fox was dead, the wolf came as a wooer, and knocked at the door, and the cat who was servant to Mrs. Fox, opened it for him. The wolf greeted her, and said, "Good day, Mrs. Cat of Kehrewit, "How comes it that alone you sit? What are you making good?" The cat replied, "In milk I'm breaking bread so sweet, Will the gentleman please come in and eat?" "No, thank you, Mrs. Cat," answered the wolf.
A rustic pipe giving forth a sonorous moan, now cooing and crooning, now bold and confident, and again irresolute and unschooled. Not too sure of instrumentalism, oft the note was hesitating, soliciting a compliant ear as became a modest wooer of the muses, polishing his unceremonious serenade to some, shy mermaid, or hooting at shyer silence. A new art, a rare accomplishment!
A single trait suffices to prove the lady's attractiveness the avaricious John Churchill wooed and wedded her although all along he knew Sarah to be altogether portionless. This successful wooer afterwards Lord Churchill and Duke of Marlborough who had entered the army at sixteen, was the son of a poor cavalier knight who had come to London after the Restoration.
