"I imbibed courage with a flagon of sack this morning."

"And my heart, Dolly; I am afire, heart and head. I see visions, and pulse with great hopes."
"I trust the wench will prove kind, and not grow plain of face on a closer acquaintance."
"For that fair wish, a thousand thanks, dear Dolly."
"Mistress Dawe, if it please you, Master Morgan." Dorothy bobbed a scornful curtsy, and left the parlour.
"What's amiss with you two?" asked Captain Dawe. "Ye were billing and cooing like two pigeons over breakfast this morning."
"And shall be doing so again over supper," said Johnnie.
