What payment, what pain, what labour, what taxation made us ever to murmur? Survey our charges where we have laboured, if they be not found to be of the faithfulest subjects that be in the Lord, we deserve no favour.

Not even to the faithfulest of his thanes did he tell the secret of his abode.
Selecting twenty of the strongest and faithfulest men I despatched them back to Unyanyembe in search of the missing men; and Selim was sent to Sheikh bin Nasib to borrow, or buy, a long slave-chain.

Dat Peter, he belonged to Miss Maria en me. He's we chile," said Emma Campbell.
Stafford asked, with his head turned away from this faithfulest of friends, who would have died for the man now sitting on the stoep of Brinkwort's house, looking into the bloom of the garden. "Naturally," was the reply.
Through his Meditations manly, wise, and gracious there runs a deep note of sadness. For this man's nature cried out for love, and not even faithfulest duty can take the place of love.
