desired object

When conversing recently with an expert on this subject I asked whether the use of asbestos would not effect the desired object.

This may be called artificial breathing, and if it succeed once only there is a probability of its effecting the desired object.

The desired object is in no sense the end or goal of desire, but it is the sine qua non of that end.

They would soon accomplish the desired object, and eagerly return to me ambitious to repeat their task.

The sense of smell warns it that the desired object is beneath it, covered by a few inches of sand.
