The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents' beds, unerringly I rush!

'Naught's had, all's spent, when our desire is got without content. I wonder whether the fulfilment of one's heart's desire ever does bring perfect contentment? I think not. There is always something wanting. And if a man comes by his wish basely, there is a taint of poison in the wine of life that neutralizes all its sweetness."
Three times three for the merry captain, that manacled the sheriff!" "Hush, burn ye! There's some one coming!" exclaimed the captain, rising and listening.

Smil'st thou? No? to me naught's perished now! Star and laurel I'll to fools allow, To the dead their marble cell; Love hath granted all as my reward, High o'er man 'twere easy to have soared, So I love him well! MATTHEW. Gossip, you'll like to hear, no doubt!

Soolsby," she said impulsively. He took her hand and shook it awkwardly, his lips working. "Your grace, I understand. I've got naught to live for except my friends. Money's naught, naught's naught, if there isn't a friend to feel a crunch at his heart when summat bad happens to you. I'd take my affydavy that there's no better friend in the world than your grace." She smiled at him.
FIRST YAGER. And, specially, never be sparing of gold. SERGEANT. In Fortune's ship, with an onward gale, My, friend, you have made up your mind to sail. The earth-ball is open before you yet there Naught's to be gained, but by those who dare.
My heart made choice of her when she was lowly. The recent honor which encircles her, Neither exalts her merit nor my love. Here in my sovereign's presence, and before This holy bishop, maid, I tender thee My hand, and take thee as my princely wife, If thou esteem me worthy to be thine. CHARLES. Resistless maiden! wonder thou dost add To wonder! Yes, I now believe that naught's Impossible to thee!

"Why, what then?" questioned Halfman, with his eyes so fixed on Thoroughgood's that Thoroughgood, dogged as he was, averted his gaze. "Naught's left but surrender," he grunted, between his teeth.
Up he jumped in a fright, for he had not yet got over the fear of being pursued. "What's the matter?" he cried, but Peter for Peter it was soon reassured him.
