I love it! I love every inch of it, every line of it, every shade of it; an' I've hungered an' thirsted for it all these years an' for you, Dad, for you most of all." Well, you should have seen Jabez. Beam? Why, I reckon you could have lit a cigar on his face, an' he fluttered around like a hen with one chicken an' that one a duck.
But it was very hard to see of what love her husband was capable, and to remember that no part of it could be won for her; that between her soul and his, rose the image of that false woman, whose treachery had steeled his heart against such love as she thirsted for. Tom Fuller was a more hopeless lunatic than ever; but Elsie had begun to grow impatient of his devotion.

He fought and toiled, and sorrowed and enjoyed.
In fact, if any one were to draw up a list of probable proscriptions and compare it with those of the 24th of July 1815, there would probably be few names common to both except Labedoyere, Mouton Duvernet, etc. The truth is that the Bourbons, and, to do them justice, still more the rancorous band of mediocrities who surrounded them, thirsted for blood.
