If I could have spent my fifty dollars in verbs, in taking a journey, in giving a fête champêtre! But the right thing! A house, a park, a pair of horses, a curricle, a pony-phaëton. But how many feet of ground would fifty dollars buy? and scarcely the hoof of a horse. There was a diamond ring. Not for me; because "he" had been too poor to offer me one. But I could give it to him.
Diamond was a freshman, and so he received a calling down from Hartwick, who told him he was altogether too new. But as Hartwick strolled away, Diamond quietly said: "I may be new, sir, but I back up any talk I make. There are others who do not, sir." Hartwick made no reply.
So let the jewel be, John; shall we not let the jewel be? He spoke earnestly, and most earnestly at the end, taking me by the hand and looking me full in the face. But I could not look him back again, and turned my eyes away, for I was wilful, and would not bring myself to let the diamond go. Yet all the while I thought that what he said was true, and I remembered that sermon that Mr.
Ken Ward saw with despairing admiration what it meant to be a great outfielder. Then Arthurs called "Play ball!" giving the old varsity the field.

At that meeting the males over eighteen years of age were organized into a military body, according to the law of the Priesthood, and called The Host of Israel.

To these succeeded “regard-rings,” the stones selected so that the initial of the name of each spelt altogether the word regard, thus: R Ruby. E Emerald. G Garnet. A Amethyst. R Ruby. D Diamond.
Besides, all the diamonds which the world contains of that size are almost as well known as the Koh-i-noor. "If it is a diamond, it is worth it is worth Heaven only knows what it isn't worth if it's a diamond." I regarded it through a strong pocket lens. As I did so I could not restrain an exclamation. "The world to a China orange, it is a diamond!"
He handed a small case to Houston, partially open, from whose depths of white velvet a superb diamond ring flashed forth its wondrous rays, seeming almost to brighten the dingy little room in which they were standing. "It is indeed a beauty," said Houston, "perfect! I could not have made a better selection myself.
