"I have brought a whole lot of cake and candy in my trunk, and I will give you some when I eat it, Ruby. My mamma is going to send me a box every month, so they sha'n't starve me, anyway." Ruby turned back and exclaimed, "Aunt Emma, do they give the girls enough to eat at this school?" Aunt Emma laughed. "Why, of course they do," she answered. "Whatever put that notion into your head, Ruby?
'Suppose the salmon-run is small, we will have no food; suppose there is no man-child, we will have no Great Tyee to show us how to get food from other tribes, and we shall starve. "'Your hearts are black and bloodless, thundered the Great Tyee, turning upon them fiercely, 'and your eyes are blinded.
They had, however, the advantage over us in point of feeding, for the grass was sweet and tender, and moistened during night by the heavy dews; as for ourselves, we were beginning to starve in earnest.
The picture before me was not a pleasing one, but I would subject myself to any hardships, ay would starve on a grain a day, rather than abandon my mother. My motives were mixed; some wrong some right. This affair made me resolve once more to visit my native country, and my resolution was immediately put in practice.
"If I cannot harness you," said the Witch to the Lion, speaking through the bars of the gate, "I can starve you. You shall have nothing to eat until you do as I wish." So after that she took no food to the imprisoned Lion; but every day she came to the gate at noon and asked, "Are you ready to be harnessed like a horse?"

"We'll starve him out!" said Anderson Crow. "But there are ladies here, my good man; you won't subject them to such treatment!"
Above the trees of Union Square, my glass showed me a white line, lighted by the bon-fires, where Caesar's Column was towering to the skies, bearing the epitaph of the world. I said to Max: "What will those millions do to-morrow?" "Starve," he said. "What will they do next week?" "Devour each other," he replied. There was silence for a time.
Look at old misers; first they starve their dependants, and then themselves. The time came at last for me to make my visit. I found Iris sitting by the Little Gentleman's pillow. To my disappointment, the room was darkened. He did not like the light, and would have the shutters kept nearly closed.
Old Cross Hall was crazy enough to leave him a lot of money as well as the estate; he certainly might have left the money to the poor girls he had brought up like his daughters, and not have left them to starve, and to be a burden on the country; and young Cross Hall can see no better way of spending it than in throwing it away for the chance of this seat but he has no chance.
