Now, at this moment, when there seemed a likelihood of being industriously useful, Jinnie loved them the more. She was going to work, and into her active little brain came the sound of pennies, and the glint of silver. "I want to work, Peggy," she beseeched, "and I'll make a lot of money for you." "Every hand ought to do its share," observed Peg, stolidly, glancing at the girl's slender fingers.
She fell to scribbling industriously. The purring of her pencil over the paper had a smooth, wicked sound as if it were writing wicked things. It was. "Be it known," read Laura Ann, flourishing her pencil, "that we, the undersigned, having endeavored, up to the present, to be good, consider ourselves entitled to be selfish during our summer vacation.
Stacy Brown began industriously tugging at the fastenings which held the large tent to the back of the pack pony. 'I can't get it loose," he shouted. "What kind of hitch do you call this, anyway?" "Young man, that's a squaw hitch. Ever hear of it before?" laughed Tad. "No. What kind of hitch is a squaw hitch?" asked Chunky.
It is certainly possible, and very probable, that the French Protestants did industriously exert themselves to raise in the Netherlands a nursery for their religion, and to prevent by all means in their power an amicable adjustment of differences between their brethren in the faith in that quarter and the King of Spain, in order to give that implacable foe of their party enough to do in his own country.
And besides the boy there is the little blind god who shoots his arrows so industriously that the whole party return engaged save the boy, the chaperon, and the poor odd man; and even he makes a determined effort to join the majority; but in his case the Fates are stronger even than the Little Blind God.

It is true I could trace a resemblance between their southern parts; but they differed so widely in their northern Port Grey being represented in the chart, and printed description, to be perfectly safe, and sheltered in that quarter by a point and a reef that I saw no grounds for giving credence to the opinion industriously circulated at Swan River, that the reef and point, or perhaps the whole port, had been fabricated by the land-jobbers at home.
Perhaps twenty Mexican infantrymen occupied the roof of a building a few hundred yards ahead. Some were lying flat, showing only their heads at the edge of the roof. Others were kneeling, but all were firing industriously. "Forward, a few steps at a time," ordered the lieutenant.
But as he repeated to himself all the insults Charles had heaped upon him, his good-natured heart hardened; and the next morning he took his place in silence, after a cold "Good morning." Although he arrived a whole hour earlier than usual, he could see that Charles had been working long and industriously.
Her son had just laid down a book, which he could no longer see to read, while her daughter-in-law was industriously knitting. Walter was wandering restlessly between the fire and the window, looking out at the flying clouds, through which the moon occasionally struggled. "Do sit down, Walter," his mother said at last. "You certainly are the most restless creature I ever saw."
Jack worked industriously on his poem, and Percival became serious and did some really good work on one that he had begun when he knew that Jack was at work, a number of the boys getting to work at the same time. "I don't expect to do better than Jack," Percival said to Arthur, "but if he knows I am going in for this he will do all the better, and I want him to come out on top."
