Dear Madam, I am not grateful to you for having performed what you call a duty. The goodness of your heart has touched me and your sympathy has made me proud. That is the whole of it. It was certainly not I who sent you in September, a little flower in an envelope. But, strange to say, at the same time, I received in the same manner, a leaf of a tree.
Well, she asked me to come again next day, and I went, and told her all about the last burlesque and and so on, you know. And then I asked her to marry me." "And she said 'Yes'?" "Not directly.

He went as a Major of Artillery to be sure, but not for the title, nor the adventure only, but I am sure from love of freedom and overwhelming sympathy for the oppressed. He said to me: "'The Cubans may not be very lovely, but they are human, and their cause is lovely.

Backing their steeds, each received a fresh lance.
The peculiar hard sound of his wife striking the floor first aroused his suspicions of the bereavement he had sustained, and upon rising later in the day he found his first fears realized; the lady had waived her claim to his further protection. We extend to Mr. P. our sincere sympathy in the greatest calamity that can befall an unmarriageable man.

The third officer eyed Kirk's back with sympathy. "I shouldn't worry him, Freddie," he said. "I guess if you had been up against it like him you'd be shy on the small talk. That's a fellow called Winfield.
