We exchanged an embrace at parting, and his hand held mine yet for a moment ere I stepped into the barge which bore me rapidly down the stream. "Shall I see thee once more, dearest and best companion of my youth?" I thought.
"The one necessary requirement for continued success is that governments keep from being enveloped in political red tape," said he. "The fact that a message can be flashed across the wide expanse of ocean in ten minutes has exceeded my fondest expectations.
I am not in a dream, do not rave, This is my right hand, this my sword and these Are written words. 'Tis true it is no dream. I am beloved, I feel I am beloved. CARLOS.

She was the dearest little dog in the world, with a yellow and white silky coat, and a very turned-up nose, and goggling, affectionate dark eyes. She was a gay-tempered little creature, full of playful coaxing ways, and a great pet with everyone; but she was fondest of her mistress, Diana.
On the one side, touched by the highest evidences of esteem a brave and generous enemy could proffer on the other, annoyed beyond expression at the recollection of an interposition which had thwarted him in his fondest, dearest hope that of losing, at the cannon's mouth, the life he loathed.
Trueman's fondest hope next to the one that at some distant day, say ten or fifteen years in the future, he may sit in the United States Senate is that this man's daughter, Ethel Purdy, renowned in more than one city for her beauty, may become his wife. Indeed, the hope of the Senate and of Ethel go hand in hand.
He knew me; he smiled again on me; he called me by all his fondest names; he said that now he could rest. For twenty-four hours we really thought that joy was working a cure.
