Famous quotes containing the words ransom and/or note:
“And the chieftain’s head, with grinning sockets, and varnished—
Is it hung on the sky with a hideous epitaphy?
No, the woman keeps the trophy.”

A slender tinkling fall that made
Now drops that floated on the pool
Like pearls, and now a silver blade.”
