"I might sell the goldfish for money," thought the fortune-hunting rabbit, "but it wouldn't be kind to take him out of the brook, so I won't. I'll look a little farther, on the other side." Then, taking up his crutch and his valise, Uncle Wiggily gave a big jump, and leaped safely across the water. Then, once more, he traveled on.
He's proud, is he, and don't like allusions to fortune-hunting. All right; I'll rub his nose in the dirt and make him good. I'm just the boy for a job of that sort, as perhaps you will agree, my reverend friend; and if he shows his airs to me, I'll kick him off the premises. Come on!
But, if I don't do any more, I pledge you that I'll save you from Marlanx." "Oh, I know you will. You must, Truxton." "I'd I'd like to be sure that I am also saving you from Vos Engo. I hate to think of you throwing yourself away on one of these blithering, fortune-hunting noblemen." She pressed his arm again.
My wife's fortune came not till after marriage, so far, so well; it saved my reputation from the charge of fortune-hunting. But, I tell you fairly, that if it had never come at all, I should be a prouder and a greater and a happier man than I have ever been, or ever can be, with all its advantages: it has been a millstone round my neck.
One of the wealthiest young women in Yorkshire! and he was already realizing that he would like to make Nesta Mallathorpe his wife: it was because he felt what he did for her that he had rushed down to do anything he could that would be of help.

"I've come to ask you for it. Here I am. I've come fortune-hunting to-night." "It's all mine now, you say? Harry, take it without me." "If I did, I'd burn it to the ground that it mightn't remind me of you." "Yes, yes! That's what I've wanted to do!" she exclaimed, drawing her hand out of his and raising her arms a moment in the air. Addie Tristram's pose was gone, but Harry did not miss it now.
Permit me to assure you that I am not intruding on your notice two fortune-hunting adventurers. They are both men of position and men of property. The family of the Stanwicks has been well known to me for years; and Mr. Varleigh brought me a letter from my oldest living friend, answering for him as a gentleman in the highest sense of the word.
"Quite done with it, my lord; and done with fortune-hunting too. I've seen enough this last time back to cure me altogether at laist, I hope so." "She doesn't mean to make any will, then?"

"Ah! Then I suppose she has money?" "I never saw any painful evidence of poverty. But I don't think Mr. Lyon is fortune-hunting. He seems to be after information and goodness." Margaret flushed a little, but apparently Henderson did not notice it. "And was, no doubt, agreeable." "She was, as Mrs. Laflamme says, entertaining. She quoted you a good deal." "Quoted me? For what?"
