Famous quotes containing the words girl and/or scouts:
“When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
“it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.
And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
their goods;
And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
armed men.”
—Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)
