Happiness and unhappiness would be synonymous terms.
Soon the girl's footsteps could be heard crossing the hall, and the raising of the drawing-room window and opening of the shutters were clearly audible. Winter, whose office had been a sinecure hitherto, now came into the scheme. He saw Sylvia's slight form standing beneath, marked her hesitancy, and watched her slow progress down the terraces and into the park.
I know an economist who has a scheme for keeping down the population by refusing very poor people a marriage license. He used to teach Sunday school and deplore promiscuity.

Miss Mortimer was still faint and weak, 'from her accident. All her movements were slow and languid. She had not left the good parson's house, Surry and what is more she was not going to leave it! She had learned what she desired to know about me; heard that I was a young man of great wealth; and had devised a scheme so singular that but let me not anticipate! She proceeded rapidly.
