"I have never been so happy as in these last few days"

"She gave me her hand without hesitation"

"I could not refrain from asking her some questions"

"My convict's leg-iron lay heavy on my soul"

"I am afraid of the consequences of leaving such things as they are"

"I had never felt such relief as when I heard his voice"

"I would far rather be miserable than have her miserable"

"The room was as I had left it years ago"

"I am not able to express what has passed within myself"

"I had always wanted to be her friend"

"I felt as if my heart would break with gratitude"

"The certainty that I was not what I had been made a great change"

"I have been considering whether the disappointment is altogether a disappointment"

"I had never seen him in such spirits before"

"The success I had dreamed of does not seem to taste as sweet"

"It was not my weakness that made me do this"

"I felt that I was not fit to be her companion"

"The greatest pain I ever knew was his disappointment in me"

"I would now have given almost anything to have been as she was"

"The knowledge that she was never truly happy stayed with me"

"I have been thinking of you constantly"

"I could not help but feel that we were meant to meet"

"I have learned that true gentleness comes from within"

"There is no remedy for the past but to make it useful"

"I saw in her face a reflection of all my hopes and fears"

"I am afraid I am a coarse, common boy, and that the conditions of my life have been a very poor soil for any niceties I may have acquired."

"It is a most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home."

"Whatever I do, I do it in a dogged way."

"I took the opportunity of being alone, first to change my clothes and secondly to compose my feelings."

"I must hold the memory of our parting in a grave and solemn thought."
