Aurora, uplifted on a great wonder and pride and illogical happiness, was thinking of the days to come, the immediate to-morrows, rich in a tenderness profounder still than that which had linked her before to the companion staring at the stars beside her; she thought of how she should through a wise firmness and God's help steer their course into ways of a safer and longer happiness than that which he had tendered.
Mark's friend pronounced his disease an aggravated kind of fever, accompanied with ague; which was very common in those parts, and which he predicted would be worse to-morrow, and for many more to-morrows.

I’ve always taken care that he had no money in his pockets.” But what is a doctor’s care against a woman’s heart? For many to-morrows Clankwood had to lament the loss of the gifted Francis Beveridge.
Constance is to bring aristocracy into the family now." "Tell her to tear up that million. I'll get her another one," offered Johnny easily. "You'll need some repairs before you start," she suggested. "They tell me you're down and out." "Tell them to guess again!" he indignantly retorted. "I own all the to-morrows in the world. There's money in every one of them."
The ragged prodigal has not much to leave which need hold him, but many such a one says, 'I will arise and go to my father to-morrow, and lets all the to-morrows become yesterdays, and is sitting among the swine still.
