A man afflicted with difficult respiration on lying down, with very irregular pulse, and oedematous legs, whom I saw this day, has for above a week been much relieved in respect to all those symptoms by the accession of insanity, which is shewn by inordinate suspicion, and great anger.
It has been, in the most public manner, in open parliament, declared to be "a most cruel, oppressive, and odious measure a child of inordinate power," &c. All which are sufficient indications how scandalous, offensive, and obnoxious this act was.
The child should never be allowed to form an inordinate appetite for anything, as this is certain to cause a corresponding deficiency elsewhere in his diet. Even worse than the practice of giving candy to very young children is that of teaching them to drink tea and coffee.
If there are so few women who enjoy all the advantages of their happy dispositions and attainments, it is because of their inordinate love for toilet and fashion; for nothing narrows the mind or contracts the heart so much as excessive care of the body.
It need hardly be added that he was not yet Prince of Bulgaria. And he had cogent personal motives for cultivating cordial relations with the country of his birth. From the Austrian Government he expected to be saved from the necessity of abdicating and expiating his unwisdom.

"I have entered a religious house, where, by prayer and labor, I may live down all "inordinate and sinful affections," and where I shall henceforth be dead to the world and to you. "This, then, is the very last you will hear of her who was once known as SALOME LEVISON." "She says you knew the cause of her flight.
He bent a little nearer, filled again by the inordinate wish to dominate. "Of course." It seemed to him that her voice sounded forced and a little tired. For a moment he looked through the window at the passing lights; then slowly his gaze returned to her face. "You look very beautiful to-night," he said. His voice was low and his manner unemotional, but his words had the effect he desired.
He let his fancy ride at inordinate speed, he forsook method, scarce was he king of a land but he yearned to extend his borders; so he journeyed deeper and deeper into the wholly unknown.
