He had the envy and admiration of his friends in allied branches of the same general industry; he had the begrudged respect of his official enemies, the police; while his accomplishments the tricks he pulled, the coups he scored, the purses he garnered were discussed and praised by the human nits and lice of the Seamy Side, just as the achievements in a legitimate field of a Hill or a Schwab or a Rockefeller might be talked of among petty shopkeepers and little business men.
He begrudged every moment that must elapse before he had Bobby to himself, and told her of his great decision. "But isn't it too late to be taking a walk?" she protested when the last dance was over, and he was urging a turn on the bund. "Just a breath of fresh air. Won't take five minutes. Where's your wrap?" "I haven't any but my steamer-coat. I don't suppose you could stand that."
There are few sounds more soothing at night than the falling of rain-drops upon the shingles over one's head, but in the present instance the music was anything but welcome to Jack and Fred. It meant that there could be no hunting on the morrow, and probably not for several days. Their time in Wyoming was so limited that they begrudged an hour of enforced idleness.
I begrudged them or, rather, Jeff the money they were making through his efficiency "The idiot!" I soliloquized. "He ought to start on his own hook with some smart business man for a partner. Let Jeff try to do without that 'lobster' of a Russian." The idea took a peculiar hold upon my imagination.
At any rate, Ikey toiled and snipped and basted and pressed and patched and sponged all day in the steamy fetor of a tailor-shop. But when work was done Ikey hitched his wagon to such stars as his firmament let shine. It was Saturday night, and the boss laid twelve begrimed and begrudged dollars in his hand.
Miss Mattie had so far determinedly set her face against her son's association with the young of the other sex, and even Barbara, who had been born lame and had never walked farther than her own garden, came under the ban. Ambrose North, with the keen and unconscious selfishness of age, begrudged others even an hour of Barbara's society.
Can you ask it?... As for me, I shall have no pleasure to be begrudged or otherwise. The only pleasure I have is, as you well know, in you. When you are with me, I am happy: when you are away, I take no pleasure in anything. 'I don't deserve it. I have no right to disturb you so, she said, very gently. 'But I have given you some pleasure, have I not? A little more pleasure than pain, perhaps?
"Do you remember what Hamlet says: 'O, cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right! "I feel like that altogether. I want to get nothing by it. No man ever less begrudged to his elder brother than I do all that belongs to him. Though he has himself treated me badly, I would support him in anything for the sake of the family.
Still Pat was not convinced of the honesty of Miskwandib. He was never very friendly to the Indians, and certainly begrudged parting with so much of our venison, though ready to do as I wished.
I, for one, never begrudged her any pleasure she had in life, and I do not know but she was as happy as it is possible for human being to be in a full experiment of worldliness. Who is the judge? But we, I say, who loved her, and knew so well the noble possibilities of her royal nature under circumstances favorable to its development, felt more and more her departure from her own ideals.
