Look yonder!" he pointed across the river to a ruined temple "Me an' you an' 'im"-he indicated me by a jerk of his head "was there one day when Hi made a bloomin' show o' myself. You an' 'im stopped me doin' such an' Hi was on'y wishful for to desert. You are makin' a bigger bloomin' show o' yourself now."
"You be quiet, young gentlemen. If you can't 'elp don't 'inder." Foxy's eye was still on the council by the horse. Carter, White, and Tyrrell, all boys of influence, had joined it. The rest fingered the rifles irresolutely. "Wait a shake," cried Stalky. "Can't we turn out those rotters before we get to work?" "Certainly," said Foxy. "Any one wishful to join will stay 'ere.
She's a wonderful woman, but a trifle masterful." He laughed, but I detected a touch of irritation in his voice. My host looked a man wishful to be masterful himself. I do not think he quite relished the calm way in which this grand dame took possession of all things around her, himself and his work included. "Did you ever hear the story of the marriage?" he asked.
Other doctrines I found to be new versions of old pagan imaginations. Some seemed to have originated in the selfish and sensual principles of human nature, which make men wishful to avoid self-denial and a life of beneficence, and to find some easy way to heaven.
Jackson was easy-going with his family, but occasionally his foot came down like a steam-hammer, as witness the Wrykyn school report affair.

Wishful superintended the purchasing of the new outfit, and seemed unusually keen about seeing Bartley well provided for at the minimum cost. Wishful's respect for the Easterner had been greatly enhanced by the recent horse-deal.
Though I was too far gone to be able to sympathize with her remarks as much as I ought, I was wishful that she should enjoy all the comfort that her faith could give her. She wept; she prayed for me; she kissed me; and I left her, to see her face no more on earth. I returned to my home in America, and the next thing I heard of the dear good creature was, that she had finished her course.
So it came about at the final dropping of the curtain, as Patsy was climbing down from her bier, that four eagerly determined men confronted her, each plainly wishful to be the first to gain her attention. "Well," said the tinker, pointedly, "are you ready?" "It's all settled." Travis was jubilant. "You'll play Broadway for six months next winter or I'm no manager."
We was breast-on to thim, an' the Tyrone was yelpin' behind av us in a way I didn't see the lean av at first. But I knew later, an' so did the Paythans. "Knee to knee!" sings out Crook, wid a laugh whin the rush av our comin' into the gut shtopped, an' he was huggin' a hairy great Paythan, neither bein' able to do anything to the other, tho' both was wishful.
