Hungrily she pleaded for a quicker return; and I stubbornly resisted the temptation. "No," I insisted, "not tomorrow, nor the next day, but I will come back in three days at the same hour that I came tonight." Then taking her in my arms, I kissed her in feverish haste and tore myself from the enthralling lure of her presence.
Ah! how hungrily he longed for the touch of her hand, the sight of her face; and, snatching his hat, he put the paper in his pocket, and hurried towards "Solitude." In the holy hush of that hazy autumnal afternoon, nature Magna Mater,
When Cleopas finished, they stirred and sighed. Here was one at least who certainly believed Jesus was alive! The air was heavy in the crowded room. An iron pan filled with burning charcoal stood near the wall. Several broiled fish, left over from supper, lay on the coals. Cleopas and his friend looked at them hungrily. Peter handed pieces to them.
Going home was the heavy work. The loaded sleigh had to be humoured among the rough ice, and the dogs sat down and looked hungrily at the seal instead of pulling. When Kotuko the dog came to his full growth he enjoyed himself too.
Steve helped himself from sheer habit. Marcel ate hungrily. It was Marcel who broke the silence. He was in no mood for silence. There were many things seeking outlet in his mind.

Now and then the canoe would leap to one side as a wave hungrily licked her prow; sometimes she would push her nose into a crest that splashed the travellers with spray.
The woman who stood upon the threshold of the house, framed with a little cascade of drooping roses, sought for his eyes almost hungrily. He realised how she must be feeling.

The tin box, from which he had devoured all the biscuits, lay empty on the floor, but he picked it up and ate hungrily the few crumbs sticking in its corners. He ransacked the small dark room in the hope of finding more, but vainly. As far as he could see, the cabin had never been used for the purpose it was meant to serve, nor ever occupied for more than a few hours at a time.
The Jake I looked upon after that was not the Jake I had known for the past few months. He sat staring in front of him for a little while, then he exclaimed huskily, almost hungrily: "Say, fellows! Give us some more. It tastes pretty good to me." "Thought he would come to it," shouted the black-haired man triumphantly. "We ain't refusin' no booze to-night. Fetch a cup o' rye for Jake."
