George had buried himself in his easy-chair, his eyes fixed on vacancy, his soul all the more a-hungered for the boy he loved. He wondered where the lad was why he hadn't written. Whether the fever had overtaken him and he laid up in some filthy hospital. Almost every week his mother had either come herself or sent in for news, accompanied by messages expressing some new phase of her anxiety.
Jack caught a sniff and it literally made his "mouth water," for despite his unpleasant situation, his appetite was such as every person in vigorous health is certain to feel at regular intervals. "I wonder whether they mean to slight me," he suddenly asked himself with a feeling of dismay; "if they do, I don't know what will become of me, for I'm sure I never was so a-hungered in all my life."
One night, while we were giving a party, he suddenly stormed in with a friend of his and mine, Mr. Twichell, and immediately began to eat and drink of our supper, for they had come straight to our house from walking to Boston, or so great a part of the way as to be a-hungered and a-thirst.
Present discomforts often drive away future horrors, and, by the time the sun was overhead, Jack gave his principal thought to one thing the question of food. He was a-hungered, and viewed with a mental groan the prospect of keeping on the march until sunset, before securing anything to eat.
But he forbore to offer me violence, and, quite releasing his hold, said "I suppose you'd like some supper." I said that I had not broken my fast for many hours, and was dead a-hungered. "And wouldn't mind supping with the Blacks in Charlwood Chase, eh?" he continued. I rather gave him to understand that such was not only my Wish but my Ambition. "Come along to the Blacks, then," said the Man.
What was it to her whether she ate and drank or was a-hungered? To maintain by her demeanour the idea in men's minds that she might still possibly be innocent that was her work. And therefore, in order that those two young men might still think so, she ate and drank as she was bidden. On their return to court Mr. Steelyard got up to examine Dockwrath, who was put into the box as the first witness.
In Motley this was heightened by that feeling of astonishment, of wounded faith, which all Americans with English friendships experienced in those days, and which he, whose English friendships were many, experienced in peculiar degree. I drifted about with him in his gondola, and refreshed myself, long a-hungered for such talk, with his talk of literary life in London.
We had come to an impasse a closed way, we could go no farther. I could see that the notary was a-hungered for his roll and coffee. With a sigh, I arose to go. The notary stepped to the door and looked up the street. "Ah," he said, "the train has arrived, but it seems there were not many passengers. Here is one, though, who has finished a long journey."
When a-hungered, you can hear him whining in the bushes like a strayed infant; but when you come within his leap, beware of tooth and claw!" "This evil-minded race, then, robbed the red warriors of their land?" "Certain!
"When all is finished and to rights, we shall have the boy coming up, grumbling for his meal, and hungry as a bear after his winter's nap. His stomach is as true as the best clock in Kentucky, and seldom wants winding up to tell the time, whether of day or night. A desperate eater is Asa, when a-hungered by a little work!"
