He did not need the restraining hand of the hired man now. "Make friends," ordered the farmer. The dog approached the girls. "Oh don't!" begged Amy. "He wouldn't hurt a fly," bragged the farmer. "I can't account for his meanness." "It was them burrs," affirmed the hired man. "Mebby so. Wa'al, young ladies, come in and make yourselves t' hum!
Further than that, he now had a delightful opportunity of tormenting Sir Digby, who had weakly yielded to the tempter, albeit with a few qualms and prickings of conscience. "Just like you!" bragged Arthur; "anybody can do you! A precious lot of your six stamps you'll see back!
"That is what I am," the little fellow bragged. "But you are tapop also," Tyame objected. "Why do you speak thus? Are you angry that you could not be used for the place?" venomously inquired the governor. "If I were in your place," retorted the Eagle, "I should do as is customary, and call upon each one in turn."
During the latter part of Pen's university career the Major had become very proud of Arthur on account of his high spirits, frank manners, and high, gentleman-like bearing. He made more than one visit to Oxbridge and had an almost paternal fondness for Pen, whom he bragged about at his clubs, and introduced with pleasure into his conversation.
This priest, who was fond of wonders, had introduced himself to Anthony by making believe to borrow a volume of him; and then had grown proud of the acquaintance, and bragged greatly of it to his friends, mixing up much that was fanciful with a little that was true.

They had only the one trout between them, and that had been fondled, examined, and poked over and bragged about until it was fairly stiff and brown with those boys looked as if it had been stolen out of a dried-herring box. They put it reverently back, when I saw it, into their big basket. I smiled a little as I walked on and thought how they felt about it.
And then this rapture was followed by a gladness no less profound that Mac-Lachlan, bad as he had been, was not the villain quite I had fancied: if he had bragged of conquests, it had been with truth though not with decency. Inneraora, as we returned to it that night, was a town enchanted; again its lights shone warm and happily.
Mary told me he seemed wrapped up in his son's succeeding; and that was what he bragged about most. He isn't vulgar in his boasting, I understand; he doesn't talk a great deal about his his actual money though there was something about blades of grass that I didn't comprehend. I think he meant something about his energy but perhaps not.
