Then the cherries are greedily devoured, and their seed, preserved from digestion in their stony cases are borne over hill, dale, and river to some islet or brookside where a sprouting cherry plant will be free from the stifling rivalries suffered by its parent. Yoked in harness with sheep, ox, and bird as planter is yonder nimble squirrel. We need not begrudge him the store of nuts he hides.
For, as regards the promotion of trade and commerce, Russia had outgrown the narrow policy of Elizabeta Petrovna, and did not begrudge her Jews the privilege of taking the lead.
Grantly, getting up and kissing her father. "But, my dear," said Mr. Harding. It was all in vain that he strove to speak; nobody would listen to him. "Well, Mr. Dean," said the archdeacon, triumphing, "the deanery gardens will be some consolation for the hospital elms. Well, poor Quiverful! I won't begrudge him his good fortune any longer." "No, indeed," said Mrs. Grantly.
"For the widow Kelly God bless her! was a thrue Christhian, and didn't begrudge the poor more power to her like some upstarts who might live to be in want yet, glory be to the Almighty!" The difference of the English and Irish character is nowhere more plainly discerned than in their respective kitchens.
The sailing-master looked keenly from one to the other as they spoke; and, after a short pause, he continued, with an air of great submission: "'Twas his luck; and I suppose it is sinful to begrudge a man his lawful luck.
I am sure you don't begrudge her this, though her vagary does knock about our own party a little.

In fact, she was driven either to so this, or to explain why she would not do so.
I kept the pot on boiling, that I might give Pat more soup. Thus the day wore on, Pat gradually recovering, though as yet he was unable to give any account of himself. The expenditure of the lynx flesh was considerable in making the soup, but I hoped to be able with Pat's gun to shoot some birds, or some other animal, and did not begrudge it.
Paul Neroni had not the faintest title to call himself a scion of even Italian nobility. Had the pair met in England Neroni would probably have been a count; but they had met in Italy, and any such pretence on his part would have been simply ridiculous. A coronet, however, was a pretty ornament, and if it could solace a poor cripple to have such on her card, who could begrudge it to her?
Then he restored it to its wrappings. "What are you doing?" "I think I'll not keep it, after all." "What is it?" "A book I wanted for some cathedral sketches I'm making." She studied his face intently. "David Quentin, do you mean to say you begrudge things for Davy Junior, when you can buy expensive books for plans nobody will ever want?"
"Sometimes I think that we fathers are all wrong," remarked Mr. Denton, after the condolences were over. "We bind ourselves hand and foot in the bondage of business, and all for what our wives and children! If they needed such a sacrifice we would not begrudge it, but the more they have the more they want, until the head of the family is a mere automaton a machine to pamper useless folly."
