Come, my Valentine, we will escape, or die together! This is the long-dreamed-of happiness! The glorious future of love and liberty open before us!" He had worked himself into a state of delirious excitement. He seized Valentine around the waist, and tried to draw her toward the gate. As Gaston's exaltation increased, Valentine became composed and almost stolid in her forced calmness.
He could see a bit of this mysterious object now, and presently he remarked: "I believe it's only a bit of broken china." "Nonsense!" said Ambrose hoarsely. His face was scarlet; he could hardly speak. Ghosts, robbers, and all other terrors forgotten, his whole soul was bent on unearthing this long-dreamed-of treasure. "I can feel it," he said at last. "I can get my fingers round it.
When Kentucky came to have a legislature of its own, it decreed that each of the counties in the state should receive six thousand acres of land wherewith to start a seminary; and that all these county seminaries were to train students for this long-dreamed-of central institution. That they might not be sent away to the North or to Europe.
The sun set in a cloudless heaven; the evening star hung quivering over the green-topped hills; the twilight dropped noiseless and fragrant over earth and water, and the long-dreamed-of moment had arrived at last. "Just let me have one more look at you, Gerald, before you start," said Phebe, wistfully. "Oh, how beautiful you look!

A year of European travel had followed for the family, a year of spending the new money lavishly for strange, long-dreamed-of luxuries a year in which the money was joyously proved to be real. Then came a year of tentative residence in the East. That year was less satisfactory. The novelty of being sufficiently fed, clad, and sheltered was losing its fine edge.
The drifting sea-weed and floating fruit which were the certain indication to Christopher Columbus of the presence of his long-dreamed-of land, did not make his heart bound with greater delight than mine at the sight of Madame Taverneau's bonnet! For that bonnet was the sign of Louise's return.
Let the spiritual forces which have grown up around religion, industry, science, philosophy, citizenship and art fall to with a will, to bring some fuller measure of the long-dreamed-of Kingdom upon this earth, which has been and forever will be man's sole home. In the preceding pages we have no doubt often hurt but we have hurt to heal.
Her face flamed, then with sudden anger against him, against circumstances, against everything that had conspired to spoil this beautiful and long-dreamed-of day: "They're sticking through my slipper. That's why I had to sit on my foot. That's why my leg went to sleep. That's why I couldn't go out in the garden with the others."
