Allison was not wholly displeased, though he feared that Aunt Francesca and Rose might be unduly anxious about Isabel. As they had more than an hour and a half to wait, before the last train, he suggested going to a popular restaurant. Thrilled with pleasure and excitement, she eagerly consented.
That was nicer than being quite by myself. It grew to be as dear to me as the little sister I had always longed to have. "Then in September I went to the College. You can imagine what a start it gave me when somebody called you 'Ingred. I looked at you, and I saw at once that you were the 'Ingred' of my picture, only grown older. I was absolutely thrilled.
No vocal music was there, but the mute beckoning of several thousand arms, as if to implore the favor of the great Inzoork or Creator, was impressively eloquent to me. I was thrilled with joy as I learned more of their religion. I found that their love and service were akin to those of our planet, and that these same bonds unite them one to another.
And how great his delight was when, as he passed through the crowd, he heard people exclaim: "That gentleman has a racing stable. His horses are going to compete!" What bliss thrilled his heart when he overheard the admiring exclamation of some worthy shopkeeper who was greatly impressed by the gay silk jacket and the top-boots! But, unfortunately, this happiness could not last forever.
Abbot desired the marriage to take place. Virgie was strangely thrilled by this intelligence. It was Tuesday, and in five days more she would be Sir William Heath's wife! It all seemed like a dream to her. On Saturday afternoon an elderly and venerable-appearing gentleman made his appearance before Mr. Abbots door.

I thought then that I had been born too late that all the big things in the world were past history. I feared then that even the Rockies would lose their wildness before I could explore them.
Having won the nomination, I thrilled with pleasure and excitement, but I was at a loss as to how to begin my campaign for election. Should I hope for support among the white-collar classes in the "swell" end of town, among the merchants and mill owners or only in the quarter where the workers lived? The first act of a candidate is to have cards printed and pass them out to every one he meets.
I crawled farther from the danger line, found a trickle of water below a melting snowbank, where I drank and laved my bruises. At length I started down the mountain, safe, but not sound; somewhat wiser, thrilled tremendously at the experience that had come unannounced. It is always thus in mountain climbing the unexpected is the rule!
King's hand, his fingers touched hers; she thrilled to the tips of her curls. Then she ran hastily down the long road, only turning to glance back when she reached the gate. Mr. King stood just where she had left him, and was looking after her. He raised his cap, and Jinnie, with burning face, fled on again. She wondered what Lafe would say about her unexpected good fortune.
The ringing of the old church bell at dark on election day, the cheers sounding everywhere up and down the streets, the sour, scowling faces of Col. Dick and Dan as they slunk down the alley and in back of the Monte Carlo, told a story which thrilled the hearts of good citizens that righteousness and good government had won.
