Following on any great military success, and after the collapse of Russia and Roumania, his generals were always able to enrol him on their programme of victory, and it is quite a mistake to imagine that William II. unceasingly clung to the idea of "Peace above all." He wavered, was sometimes pessimistic, sometimes optimistic, and his peace aims changed in like manner.
Yet its outward manifestations were the opposite of what one would have looked for in this gay and optimistic Southerner. It was rather priest-like worship, a calm imperturbability that nothing seemed to distract or upset, at least in the presence of the goddess who was its object.
Everybody was extremely optimistic about the constitution. He couldn't quite understand the optimism, himself. "If I were one of these Lords-Master, I wouldn't even consider the thing," he told Erskyll. "I know, they're stupid, but I can't believe they're stupid enough to commit suicide, and that's what this amounts to." "Yes, it does," Erskyll agreed, cheerfully.
Well, if he does they may send for Joe and me, and that will be so much more business for us, though I'm sorry to see him make a fizzle of it." But Mr. Alcando appeared to have no fears on his own account. He was cheerfully optimistic. "I shall want several cameras, of different kinds," he said to the boys.

"What in heaven do you think this thing is?" And he struck his fist on the manuscript which lay between them. Harviss had recovered his optimistic creases. He rested a benevolent eye on the document. "Why, your apologia your confession of faith, I should call it. You surely must have seen which way you were going? You can't have written it in your sleep?"

After giving Grierson a few instructions, George turned away. His work was done; instead of driving home through the sharp cold of the night, he was to spend it comfortably at the hotel.
He seemed to have little confidence in her, but that, she suspected, might be owing to his low opinion of women in general. "That is all. I'd better give him an injection now, I think." "Yes, doctor." She brought the usual accessories a basin of water, cotton-wool, iodine and placed them on the little table by the bed, feeling a sudden grave doubt about her patient. Had she been too optimistic?
At every meal there is meat or fish or both; indeed I think the women, children, and sedentary classes eat too much meat for their own good health." * "Nine Years in America" . p. 22. This highly optimistic picture, written by a sanguine observer from the land of greatest agrarian oppression, must be shaded by contrasting details.
