Ransom Note

Famous quotes containing the words ransom and/or note:

    The reivers they stole Fair Annie,
    As she walked by the sea;
    But a noble knight was her ransom soon,
    Wi’ gowd and white monie.
    Unknown. Fair Annie (l. 1–4)

    Is whispering nothing?
    Is leaning cheek to cheek? Is meeting noses?
    Kissing with inside lip? Stopping the career
    Of laughter with a sigh?—a note infallible
    Of breaking honesty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
