This was a terrible impression for a young woman to retain before her engagement to a man has passed into its third month. Then she began to wonder if all her previous ideas--all her previous aspirations--were mistaken. She began to wonder if this was the reality of love--this conviction that there was nothing in the whole world that she would welcome with more enthusiasm than an announcement on the part of her father that he was going on a voyage to Australia, and that he meant to take her with him.英文原著 · 《Phyllis of Philistia》
The magazine had been The Cosmopolitan only a short time when the new owners, Mr. Paul J. Slicht and Mr. Walker, also solicited the previous editor to accept reappointment.

(At this juncture aunt Celia disappeared for a moment to ask the barmaid if, in her opinion, the constant consumption of malt liquors prevents a more dangerous indulgence in brandy and whiskey. She is gathering statistics, but as the barmaids can never collect their thoughts while they are drawing ale, aunt Celia proceeds slowly.)英文原著 · 《A Cathedral Courtship》
I recollect hardly one instance of a return to honest pursuits, and habits of industry, where this miserable perversion of our noblest and peculiar faculty was not previously conquered.

Let us always keep in view, that punishment, when not directed to promote reformation, is arbitrary, and unauthorised.英文原著 · 《A Complete Account of the Settlement》
