The season was, in local parlance, "on," the elements were assembled; the big windy hotel, the draughty social hall, swarmed with "types," in Charlotte's constant phrase, and resounded with a din in which the wild music of gilded and befrogged bands, Croatian, Dalmatian, Carpathian, violently exotic and nostalgic, was distinguished as struggling against the perpetual popping of corks.
It was settled, then, that I should go to Phillips Academy, and preparations were made that I might join the school at the beginning of the autumn. In due time I took my departure in the old carriage, a little modernized from the pattern of my Lady Bountiful's, and we jogged soberly along, kind parents and slightly nostalgic boy, towards the seat of learning, some twenty miles away.
The stupendous setting of seas beating against jetties, of deserts stretching under torrid skies to distant horizons, did not exist in his nostalgic work which confined itself to a boudoir, near an aulic park, scented with the voluptuous fragrance of a woman with a tired smile, a perverse little pout and unresigned, pensive eyes.
Cluseret I know has intended to ask for service with Turkey, with a view to a war, against Russia, and has been withheld only by some differences with General Klapha, the Turco-Hungarian, from doing so. I had a long letter from him to- day, in which he expresses his restlessness characteristically, J'ai la nostalgic de la poudre."

Moved by nostalgic memories of my lost Southland I built a great and ample bungalow of some sixty rooms stucco, topped with asbestos tile.
The Canons live under the cloister; the cats live on the green garth, and sometimes die there, I did not see much of the Canons; but the cats seemed to me very sad-depressed, nostalgic even, I might describe them, if there had not been something more languid, something faded and spiritless about their habit. It was not that they quarrelled.
Germain, or none of these, or all, but for each one nostalgic aspect of the city where good Americans go when they die and bad ones while they live to Montmartre. "New York is twice as romantic, really," says Johnny firmly. "If you can't get out of it," adds Oliver with a twisted grin. Ted Billett turns to Ricky French as if each had no other friend in the world.
You'll find it in every name. Grandfather was an Earthman and he used to get nostalgic for the homeworld. Well there's Alexandria coming up. We've just about reached the end of the line." Kennon stared down at the huge gray-green citadel resting on a small hill in the center of an open plain.
But then, I mean also will be. And so I cleave to the present tense the nostalgic present, as grammarians might call it. Likewise, when I say that thoroughly dark nights are rare here, I mean that they are rare in the Gulf of Genoa. Clouds do not seem to like our landscape.
