Say, Maria" he fumbled nervously with the thin hand he still held in his own "say, let's go." Jacob West cackled delightedly.
She used to come tumbling into the workshop with her school satchel or her skates; a button had got torn off, or a heel had been wrenched loose by a skate. A fresh breeze hovered about her hair and cheeks, and the cold made her face glow. "There is blood!" the young master would say, looking at her delightedly; he laughed and jested when she came in.
Every dollar gained was like something brought ashore from a mysterious deep; every venture made was like a diver's plunge; and as he thrust his bold hand into the plexus of the money-market he was delightedly aware of how he shook the pillars of existence, turned out men, as at a battle-cry, to labour in far countries, and set the gold twitching in the drawers of millionaires.
Both men stared at them, and Hunt gave vent to a grunt of satisfaction. "I was right," he cried delightedly. "Look here! Why I can see it with the naked eye!"

Singleton declared that he would come delightedly, and Rowland left him to his work. He met a number of his last winter's friends again, and called upon Madame Grandoni, upon Miss Blanchard, and upon Gloriani, shortly after their return.
"Strike!" droned the umpire, and a little knot of boys on the bank waved red banners and cheered delightedly. Then ball and bat came together and the runner was speeding toward first. But the hit had been weak and long before he reached the bag the ball was snuggling in Donald Satterlee's mitten, and up on the terrace the Willardians breathed their relief. The nines changed sides.
He and Mother between them have just about all the varieties of human nature that are worth while! Morrison raised delightedly amused hands to heaven.
