Those lads yonder are not pretty soldiers to look at, but they're wolves to fight, and hungry for it." "They are called on whenever Farrell wishes?" "Well, yes; those come who can. They're not always the same bunch. You see Farrell covers quite a bit of country, with a lieutenant in each section who is in touch with the neighbors there.
Probably got hungry and concluded to look for some tender bushes to browse on." The boys, thus encouraged, hastened to begin their search for the missing stock. "They went this way," shouted Ned. All hands hurried to him. "Yes, there's their tracks," agreed the Professor. "Now follow them, but look out that you do not get lost." Instead, a few moments afterward, they lost the trail.
"But I was cold and hungry, and might have fainted by the way." The manner of saying this touched the farmer's feelings a little, and caused him to look more narrowly into the stranger's face than he had yet done. But he saw nothing more than he had already seen. "You have warmed and fed me, for which I am thankful.
"But Uncle Thorpe, I remember him well, was a simple soul, but he was a quiet, well-behaved man. Why didn't he teach you to be more restrained in your ways, especially at table?" "Restrained? Oh, you mean I eat too much! Well, I have got a big appetite, but to-night I guess I'm specially hungry. Or else your eats are specially good! You don't mind how much I eat, do you, Cousin Patty?"
"I am so happy to see you, pretty puss, for you will conduct me to your home. I am indeed very hungry and I have not the strength to walk much further without food." Blondine had scarcely uttered these words, when the white pussy mewed again and pointed with her little paw to a small package lying near her, wrapped neatly in fine white linen.
Joseph demands food and wine, and Enan gives him a little of the former and none of the latter. "Be still," says Enan, "too much food is injurious to a traveller weary from the way. But you cannot be so very hungry, or you would fall to on the dry bread. But wine with its exciting qualities is bad for one heated by a long day's ride."
That was all the rest I had, until the messenger returned; when, as it appeared that Cluny would be glad to receive us, we must get once more upon our feet and set forward. Alan was in excellent good spirits, much refreshed by his sleep, very hungry, and looking pleasantly forward to a dram and a dish of hot collops, of which, it seems, the messenger had brought him word.
Fur-clad figures, showing shapeless in the creeping light, clustered about them, and Winston felt himself thumped on the shoulders by mittened hands, while Alfreton's young voice broke through the murmurs of welcome. "Let him alone while he's hungry," he said.

He now sat on the steps waiting to build a fire, over which Grace had planned to make coffee for the hungry girls whose appetites had been whetted by the fresh air.
The things he said to the roses it is not necessary to set down. After a vituperative half-hour or so Mr. Woods was hungry. He came back toward Selwoode; and upon the terrace in front of the house he found Kathleen Saumarez. During the warm weather, one corner of the terrace had been converted, by means of gay red-and-white awnings, into a sort of living-room.
