I came sadly to conclude that old Frank had found other friends more to his taste than the boy in the forecastle, and that Captain Falk, by trickery and favoritism, really was securing his grip on the crew.
"Yes," he said, "I love to hear 'em. They's very amusin', very amusin'." My own feeling can hardly be a prejudice, conscious or unconscious, in favor of what has grown dear to me through early and long-continued association. The question is one of taste, it is true; but it is not a question of familiarity or favoritism. All praise to the mocker and the thrasher! May their tribe increase!
"I believe you have made good, and so good at that, that I'm going to dodge any charge of favoritism, and leave it to others to see that you're forced to take what you deserve." "Of course I want to play this season, and I'm training hard to be at my best," said Reade. "Yet when it's all over, and we've won every game, good old Gridley style, I shall feel mighty happy."
I say this as much on account of one of your ancestors as on account of your father's enemies.

She went down and stood in the hall again, not even above bending to listen at the keyhole. Chadron was talking again.
Its power of local discount has in fact proved to be a fruitful source of favoritism and corruption, alike destructive to the public morals and to the general weal.
God does not prompt such prayers for nothing. Is this favoritism? No; they are secretly seeking Him. When the soul is united to God a great change comes over the mind, which now thinks continually, lovingly, of God.
"You may as well take Archer," he said. "You won't like to ask for him because he's your cousin; but I asked for his berth, you know, and don't mind doing a little bit of favoritism this once." And so, to Jack's intense delight, he found that he was to form a portion of the landing party.
"I'm sorry about the effigy, but I won't stand that kind of favoritism. It's mean and underhanded." After school Anne lingered in the corridor until the other girls had gone. Then she made her way slowly to the office of the principal. "Come in," came the answer to her timid knock.
