The land was gone, all but a little streak, like a snake, away off on the edge of the water, and down under us was just ocean, ocean, ocean millions of miles of it, heaving and pitching and squirming, and white sprays blowing from the wave-tops, and only a few ships in sight, wallowing around and laying over, first on one side and then on t'other, and sticking their bows under and then their sterns; and before long there warn't no ships at all, and we had the sky and the whole ocean all to ourselves, and the roomiest place I ever see and the lonesomest.
My dear Jennie: You know I'm no great hand at letter writing when I have no stenographer at hand.

"Yes, we did have a chatty janitor," says I. "You were there with your mother, from somewhere out on the Coast. We almost got to the noddin' point when we met in the elevator, didn't we?" "If we did," says he, "that was the nearest I came to getting acquainted with anyone in New York. It's the lonesomest hole I was ever in. Say "

I did keep an eighth of the Pactolus, and I was ship's husband for a long spell, but she never was heard from on her last voyage to Singapore. I was the lonesomest man, when I first come ashore, that ever you see. Well, you are master hands to walk, if you come way up from the Brandon house. I wish the women was at home. Know Miss Brandon?
And all that swearing's got to be done at midnight, in the lonesomest, awfulest place you can find a ha'nted house is the best, but they're all ripped up now." "Well, midnight's good, anyway, Tom." "Yes, so it is. And you've got to swear on a coffin, and sign it with blood." "Now, that's something LIKE! Why, it's a million times bullier than pirating.
Snip licked his master's chin by way of reply, and Seth pressed the little fellow yet more closely, saying with what was very like a sob: "I can't do it, little man, I can't do it! You must stick to me, else I'll be the lonesomest feller in all the world. We'll hold on here a spell, an' then hustle once more.
Isn't it the poorest, lonesomest, wildest, dreariest bit of a hill a person ever passed a life on? When she stopped a moment, with the tears streaming on her face, I told a little about the poverty I had seen in Paris. 'God Almighty forgive me, avourneen, she went on, when I had finished, 'we don't know anything about it.
He would fear you would never make a grade that would be a credit to him if he did." "My!" laughed Donald, "you've got a long head on your shoulders!" "When you're thrown on your own for four of the longest, lonesomest years of your life, you learn to think," said Linda soberly. She was touching the beginning of Los Angeles traffic. Later she was on the open road again.
It certainly is not a pleasant or thoughtful thing for a hundred million people to do to a President to be a Ghost. It is not efficient.
