He had no cause to feel affection for either man. But there was the "something else" besides the spite in those eyes. That was what interested Racey. "You come here special to tell me this?" said Racey, staring. "Not me," denied Rack Slimson. "I was just passing by, and I thought I'd let you know." "Just bein' neighbourly, huh?" "I dunno as I'd go so far as to say that."
Out there they haven't. It's terrible to think of all those millions that live and die in darkness." Claude glanced up at the sombre mill house, hidden in cedars, then off at the bright, dusty fields. He felt as if he were a little to blame for Enid's melancholy. He hadn't been very neighbourly this last year. "People can live in darkness here, too, unless they fight it. Look at me.
"I could have admitted Bridgenorth," he said, "for he always bore him in neighbourly and kindly fashion till this last career I could have endured him, so he would have drunk the King's health, like a true man but to bring that snuffling scoundrel Solsgrace, with all his beggarly, long-eared congregation, to hold a conventicle in my father's house to let them domineer it as they listed why, I would not have permitted them such liberty, when they held their head the highest!
But the two friends answered that it was well their will to dwell there neighbourly, and do them all the help they might, and that they would not gainsay the worship they offered them nor the work that should go with it.
"Can we do anything for you in our line?" said the buxom lady behind the desk, in a strong, deep voice; and now Jim noticed for the first time her square jaw and her keen eye that brightened as she spoke.

This had occasioned her to make some reflections, and then to reason upon those reflections; as for instance, that since her husband chose rather to devote himself to his studies, than to the duties of matrimony, to turn over musty old books, rather than attend to the attractions of beauty, and to gratify his own pleasures, rather than those of his wife, it might be permitted her to relieve some necessitous lover, in neighbourly charity, provided she could do it conscientiously, and to direct her inclinations in so just a, manner, that the evil spirit should have no concern in it.
Ye were aye kind and neighbourly, whatever folk says o' your being near and close; and I hae often said, in thae times when they were ganging to raise up the puir folk against the gentles I hae often said, neer a man should steer a hair touching to Monkbarns while Steenie and I could wag a finger and so said Steenie too.

Men and women on the land should be one big family, with interests, and sympathies in common and a neighbourly feeling. A leaflet of the Agricultural Organisation Society thus describes a certain co-operative small holdings' society with seventeen members renting ninety acres.
"You need not be," said he, laughing; "don't attempt to make a hero of me: a mere neighbourly good turn happened to have important consequences. Peggy's conduct was far beyond mine."

Brandon indulged the child; turned up his sleeve, and Emily gave the arm a hug and a kiss.
