The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in the first excerpt from Bret Harte's "Tennessee's Partner" by suggesting three infidelities, since the character Tennessee courted his Partner's wife, and the bride accepted him, but later on she abandoned him and went out with another man. The excerpt also suggests a strong affection and loyalty from Tennessee's Partner towards Tennessee, even though he has stolen his wife. The second excerpt likewise reflects Tennessee's Partner's unconditional affection and admiration for Tennessee, even after his death. The character's delirium is making him seeing his beloved friend, whom he fondly calls "old girl", coming his way. He struggles to accomplish his goal of putting him (his dead body) in the cart.

Thus, she has a fascination with traveling, since she would take any train and go anywhere, and she believes she would make the best of friends.
