And forthwith the loving-cup several of them, indeed, on each side of the tables came slowly down with all the antique ceremony. The fashion of it is thus.
Tell me rather what didst mean by the loving-cup thou sendst me? May I take it sooth and truly as relenting on thy part?" "I send you a loving-cup, sir!" exclaimed the girl, her eyes flashing, and her color rising. "Yes. Call it by what name you will; I mean the cup Desire Minter brought me from thee, with a message that I should drink thy health."
The cheerful clang of the bucket against the stones, the rumble of the windlass, and then Dilly came in with a brimming bright tin dipper. She offered it first to the parson, and though she refilled it scrupulously for each pair of lips, it seemed a holy loving-cup. They sat there in the darkening room, and Dilly "stepped round" and began to get supper.
At the first sound of his return Brown had wheeled and was found standing before a cabinet, in which behind glass doors was kept a choice collection of curios from all parts of the world. He was trying to summon words to explain that he was looking for a certain loving-cup a loving-cup when one had just been presented, full to overflowing, to his thirsty lips, and he had refused to drink!
My heart is like water poured upon the ground: I have come alone to the place of surrender. To thee, to thee only will I give up my sword: The sword which was broken in thy service. Thou hast required me to suffer for thy cause: By my defeat thy will is victorious. O my King show me thy face shining in the dark: While I drink the loving-cup of death to thy glory.
"It's funny, but I'm so sure that those kisses left no mark on me no taint of promiscuity, I mean even though a man once told me in all seriousness that he hated to think I'd been a public drinking glass." "He had his nerve." "I just laughed and told him to think of me rather as a loving-cup that goes from hand to hand but should be valued none the less."
In the darkness of his own room he sat down, the devil's own clutch on his shrinking nerves, a deathly desire tearing at his very vitals, and every vein a tiny trail of fire run riot. He had been too long without it, too long to endure the craving aroused by that gay draught from Quarrier's loving-cup.
Wyberg's initials, and after another few days had passed reappeared with a bulky parcel. On being opened the parcel was found to consist of a large silver loving-cup, with Mr. Wyberg's name chased upon it, and underneath the words, "From Wilhelm II." Another anecdote refers to an American naval attaché, a favourite of the Emperor's.
To Malcolm's disgust, Esclairmonde caught at the proposal, which the Scottish haughtiness that lay under all his gentleness held somewhat degrading to the cousin of the Emperor. He fell into a state of gloom, which lasted till the loving-cup had gone round and been partaken of in pairs.
That the table itself might be made the more worthy of the great man, orders were given that the big silver loving-cup the one presented to his father by no less a person than the Marquis de Castellux himself should be brought out to be filled later on with Cloth of Gold roses so placed that their rich color and fragrance would reach both the eyes and the nostrils of his guests, while the rest of the family silver, brightened to a mirror finish by Todd, was either sent down to Aunt Jemima to be ready for the special dishes for which the house was famous, or disposed on the side-board and serving-table for instant use when required.
