"The magazine," he began, "is going to be written on exercise-book paper. Any one who likes can contribute, and it's going to be more especially a paper for the Third Form." The speaker went on to show that the periodical was destined to supply a long-felt want.
It would make intercommunication in a measure ungeneral. India had eighty languages, and more custom-houses than cats. No clever man with the instinct of a highway robber could fail to notice what a chance for business was here offered. India was full of clever men with the highwayman instinct, and so, quite naturally, the brotherhood of the Thugs came into being to meet the long-felt want.
But the mere word "redeemed" brought to his mind the image of Him who took on Himself the sins of the world; and the more deeply he contemplated the nature of the Saviour whom he had loved from his childhood, the more surely he felt that it would be doing no violence to the freedom of his own will, but rather be the fulfilment of a long-felt desire, if he were to tell Jesus simply all that oppressed him; that his love for Him, his faith in Him, had a saving power even for his soul.
Bismarck, by bringing about our wars of Unification in order to improve radically an untenable position and secure to our people healthy conditions of life, fulfilled the long-felt wish of the German people, and raised Germany to the undisputed rank of a first-class European Power.

Nobody must think that she and her father went about asking alms. When the little girl was six years old Jan went along with her to the Östanby school one day, to listen to the examinations. This being the first and only schoolhouse the parish boasted, naturally every one was glad that at last a long-felt want had been met.
"You're thinkin', I suppose, that a day-nursery would fill a long-felt want, or somethin' like that. Who's goin' to pay the bills?" "Oh, there ought to be enough progressive, philanthropic people in Durford to subscribe the necessary funds, you know. It is to be an auxiliary to the parish work." "Hm! What does Mr. Maxwell say?"

So she had attracted him first, by a certain strangeness and daring by what she said
"I don't suppose you intend to go out to the gas country?" "No," said Miss Vance, amused. "Not that I shouldn't like to go." "What a daring spirit! You ought to be on the staff of 'Every Other Week," said Beaton. "The staff-Every Other Week? What is it?" "The missing link; the long-felt want of a tie between the Arts and the Dollars."
