We are not the men lazily and avariciously to anchor our hopes on a pearl fishery; we rouse the natives to cultivate their salt fish and shark fisheries. Tea will soon be cultivated more hopefully than in Assam. Sugar, coffee, cinnamon, pepper, are all cultivated already.
'It's your fancy, my dear. 'I can assure you it's nothing of the sort, Pa! said Bella, nodding at him, with her very pretty eyebrows raised as high as they would go, and looking comically frightened. 'It's a fact. I am always avariciously scheming. 'Lor! But how? 'I'll tell you, Pa.
"That is to say, 'Loading, ye shall load him, likewise every one of his family, with as much as he can take with him abundant benefits. And if it be avariciously asked, "How much must I give him?"

But about this pipe business: I want you to make over these patents to me." "They're yours now, Tom; everything I've got will be yours in a little while," said the father; but his voice betrayed the depth of that thrust. Was the new Tom beginning so soon to grasp and reach out avariciously for the fruit of the old tree? "You ought to know I don't mean it that way," said Tom, frowning a little.
He began to think about how peculiar the world was with its interdependent members that made up units of one entire whole; and that interaction of one species with another was merely for the need to gain sustenance outside the unit, that the frenzied propagation of a species to ensure its continuum was kept in check by voracious predators; and that individual persons, considering it an enjoyable sport, incessantly tried not only to sustain themselves but also to thrive by hording avariciously or seeking pleasures gluttonously at the sake of others within the unit, striving for even more so as to think of themselves as successful in partaking of the good.
The Magpie cocked his eye, and stuck his tongue in his cheek. "GOOD-night!" he said tersely. "Nothin' like dat! Are youse on, or ain't youse?" "Well, den, wot's in it fer me?" persisted Larrry the Bat. "More'n de price of a coke sneeze!" returned the Magpie pertinently. "Dere's a century note fer youse, an' mabbe two or t'ree of dem fer Mag." Larry the Bat's eyes gleamed avariciously.
They put forth the idea that the American Protective Policy was a policy of fostering combinations by Federal laws, the effect of which was to transfer a considerable portion of the profits of slave labor from the Slave States to other parts of the Union where it was massed in the hands of a few individuals, and thus created a moneyed interest which avariciously influenced the General Government to the detriment of the entire community of people, who, made restive by the exactions of this power working through the Federal Government, were as a consequence driven to consider a possible dissolution of the Union, and make "estimates of resources and means of defense."
He moves him around where he pleases." Owen's eyes gleamed avariciously, opposingly. Cowperwood ought to be punished, sold out, driven out of the street-railway business in which Owen was anxious to rise. "Now you know," observed Butler, thickly and solemnly, "I always thought that young felly was clever, but I hardly thought he was as clever as all that. So that's his game.
How ends it all! Could I sit but for twelve hours in the innermost heart of that Alfred Fletwode; could I see how, step by step from his childhood, the dishonest son was avariciously led on by the honest father to depart from the old /vestigia/ of Fletwodes of Fletwode, scorning The Enough to covet The More, gaining The More to sigh, 'It is not The Enough, I think I might show that the age lives in a house of glass, and had better not for its own sake throw stones on the felon!"
Preposterous! there must be some mistake! We won't haggle. We must have three thousand pistoles or good-bye." At this audacious proposal to raise their blood-wages exactly ten times, the eyes of the bravos glittered avariciously, and they drummed approval on the table with their fists.
