She was silent for a moment or two as he looked down at her yearningly, anxiously; then she said in a low voice, "I will, if you wish it." He drew her to him, and kissed her passionately, gratefully. "You will, Celia?" he said, astonished at her goodness to him. "Yes," she said, simply. "Does it seem so great a thing? No, don't answer. I feel mean; for, dearest, I'm only too ready.
From her vantage ground of much doing and much knowing, she looked back yearningly to the bloom and springtide of life, when all splendid things are possible, and any day may bring the splendid knight.

With singing heart she lifted her hands to his cheeks, bewitched by the new spell, holding his face off from her own while she looked long and yearningly into his eyes. A soft flush crept over her brow and down her neck, her eyes wavered and melted into mirrors of love, her lips parted, but she could not speak.
"I wish that I had a fortune to place at your disposal," he murmured. "You should have your theatre at once." "My vast theatre!" she sighed. "I fear I must dismiss that as a hopeless dream.

Ah! happy days, with these innocent crimes and fleeting remorses, how bravely we faced them, and how gaily we lived them, and how yearningly we look back at them now!

"Well, then," said I, "if celibacy is wrong, the surest way to protest against it is to marry as many times as you can." "By Jove!" said Boswell, tapping the keys yearningly, as though he wished he might spare his hand to shake mine, "you are a man after my own heart."
"Eliza Jane's there, and James B. I wonder if they are going to shut the house for the winter?" asked Janet. "Like as not," Davy nodded, and spoke from the depths of his coffee cup. Janet bethought her of the cellar window and the old unbroken calm, and she sighed yearningly. "Good bye, Davy." She came behind his chair, and snuggled her soft cap against his cheek.

"We'll let her know tonight," Roger McKay said at last, with something very slow and deliberate in his voice.
Formed to be unpopular with the generality of men, the very qualities that made him so were those which principally fascinate the higher description of women of ancient birth, which rendered still more displeasing the pride and coldness of his mien; of talents peculiarly framed to attract interest as well as esteem; of a deep and somewhat morbid melancholy, which, while it turned from ordinary ties, inclined yearningly towards passionate affections; of a temper where romance was only concealed from the many to become more seductive to the few; unsocial, but benevolent; disliked, but respected; of the austerest demeanour, but of passions the most fervid, though the most carefully concealed, this man united within himself all that repels the common mass of his species, and all that irresistibly wins and fascinates the rare and romantic few.
