I understood; and in the strength of domestic affection that burned with unquenched faith in the dark tenement after the many months of weary failure I read the history of this strange people that in every land and in every day has conquered even the slum with the hope of home.

The ranchman was equipped only with the splendid strength and equilibrium of perfect health and the endurance conferred by decent living. The two attributes nearly matched. There were no formal rounds. At last the fibre of the clean liver prevailed. The last time Curly went down from one of the ranchman's awkward but powerful blows he remained on the grass, but looking up with an unquenched eye.
There was no malice, only fear, in his tones: "I said this was my madness and I got what I deserved, but I'm going to die. O God I'm going to die and I'm afraid." He moaned till the Bronco Kid hobbled in, glaring with unquenched hatred. "Yes, you're going to die and I did it. Be game, can't you? I sha'n't let her go for help until daylight."

During the autumn and winter of 1866-7 the lately seceded States, except Tennessee, rejected the amendment. So failed the first congressional plan of reconstruction, as the President's earlier plan had failed. And now there was small hesitation or delay in framing and enforcing the final plan.
No other woman he had ever had to do with had been like that kept his thirst unquenched. No; he had always tired of them before they tired of him. She gave him nothing really nothing! Had she no heart or did she give it elsewhere? What was that Paul had said about her music-lessons? And suddenly it struck him that he knew nothing, absolutely nothing, of where she went or what she did.
But it is false! you never knew her, or you would not now reject my prayer." "Never knew her!" fiercely repeated Wacousta. Again he paused. "Would I had never known her! and I should not now be the outcast wretch I am," he added, slowly and impressively. That love, that hatred are unquenched unquenchable.
