Maybe we'll get some sport after all," Kennicott chuckled blissfully. She watched the dog in suspense, breathing quickly every time he seemed to halt. She had no desire to slaughter birds, but she did desire to belong to Kennicott's world. The dog stopped, on the point, a forepaw held up. "By golly! He's hit a scent! Come on!" squealed Kennicott.
He wore a dressing-gown and a cotton nightcap, and was evidently ill and weak, though he was smiling blissfully. When the homeless old man returned with Grushenka from Mokroe two months before, he had simply stayed on and was still staying with her. He arrived with her in rain and sleet, sat down on the sofa, drenched and scared, and gazed mutely at her with a timid, appealing smile.
They had fired up already, and were sitting blissfully by in the blistering heat, bragging about the sort of meal they were going to purvey, and speculating on whether the imported band would play enough, and how the ball games would come out, and naming over the folks who were expected to arrive from distant parts. "This here town team hain't what it was ten year ago," said the sheriff.
In the Preface, Shober gives utterance to the hope that all Protestant churches and their individual members would, by reading his book, be moved "to pray to God that He would awaken the spirit of love and union in all who believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, the only Mediator between God and men, in order to attain the happy time prophesied, when we shall blissfully live as one flock under one Shepherd."
He was greatly and blissfully thrilled, but he ended by regarding the head upon his shoulder as an encouraging preliminary, merely advanced as a harbinger of his success, and not to be taken advantage of.

It never crossed his mind that he had ceased to be master of his fate and captain of his soul. The reins were handled so gently that he did not feel them.

In its place she fitted the ribbon, pinning it securely and knotting the ends so that the fringe reached her shoulder. Then she tried the hat again. The result was blissfully satisfactory. The flash of orange, the blaze of red, the gleam of green, were what she needed. "Thank you very much, sister mine," she said, "I know you I would be perfectly delighted to loan me this."

Lydia Ann's lips parted, but the trembling words of thanks froze on her tongue her eyes had fallen on a small pink peppermint on the floor. "No, no, we can't take 'em," she cried agitatedly. "We hadn't ought to.
I've been calling you Sir Galahad." Ben smiled at her blissfully. "Nice," he said. "I don't believe Miss Upton went beyond that." "Oh, please go on, Mr. Barry Ben Sir Galahad." "Why couldn't our cheerful friend have shown you any checks he drew to your father's name and claim that they were forged?" Geraldine's eyes shone. "I never thought of that."
