The cuckoo, that "harbinger of spring," was faintly heard from a distance; the thrush piped from the hawthorn; and the yellow butterflies sported, and toyed, and Coquetted in the air.
"Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists"
Washington Irving
Like Queen Elizabeth, she Coquetted with her suitors, but these coquetries were of a harmless kind, and never went far enough to set the world talking.
"A Vanished Hand"
Sarah Doudney
It is wonderful how you have Coquetted with every reason which may excuse our marriage except the only one that justifies it."
"The Locusts' Years"
Mary Helen Fee
