| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Sylvie and Bruno by Lewis Carroll: together.
Bruno loves blackberries, she said, as we paced slowly along by a tall
hedge, that looked a promising place for them, and it was so sweet of
him to make me eat the only one!
Oh, it was you that ate it, then? Bruno didn't seem to like to tell me
about it.
No; I saw that, said Sylvie. He's always afraid of being praised.
But he made me eat it, really! I would much rather he --oh, what's that?

Tom took something out of his pocket.
"Do you remember this?" said he.
Becky almost smiled.
"It's our wedding-cake, Tom."
"Yes -- I wish it was as big as a barrel, for it's all
we've got."
