'There's nothing like being a new creature!" And Adèle quoted the old lady with good-natured mimicry. Winifred's face glowed. "No," she said, "there's nothing like it! if that is what has happened to me." Adèle looked at the happy face covetously. "You look as though it were good, Winnie," she said, and added meditatively: "I think it is all true about it.
Meanwhile, Aldous had drawn Marcella into the Stone Parlour and was standing by the fire with his arm covetously round her. "I have lost two hours with you I might have had, just because a tiresome man missed his train. Make up for it by liking these pretty things a little, for my sake and my mother's."
He wanted a new loading-rod for his rifle; and he had gazed covetously at the kobaoba's long horn. But it was easier to desire the death of the rhinoceros than to accomplish it. They had no horses at least, none that could be mounted and to attack the animal on foot, would be a game as dangerous as idle.
He did not cling covetously to his inherited wealth, and the noble attribute of liberality was not strange to him, but the coarseness of his nature showed itself most when he was most lavish, for he was never tired of exacting gratitude from those whom he had attached to him by his gifts, and he thought he had earned the right by his liberality to meet the recipient with roughness or arrogance, according to his humor.
No prince out of a fairy story could be more marvelous to him than the coatless driver up there on the seat under his great canvas umbrella that had advertisements printed on it.

Jerry wondered if they, too, didn't have the necessary quarter of a dollar. "It would be just grand to see all them freaks," sighed Celia Jane. "If I could only see just half the circus." Jerry, his ticket still in his hand, looked up and saw Danny glancing covetously at it. "What'll you take for your ticket?" he asked eagerly. "I'll give you anything of mine you want."
But there were so many and they ran about so much that she could not keep track of them; so she gave it up soon and began to think over all the things she would buy from the thick catalogue with the money she would get when she had snared a great number. And she was still sitting there, watching the gophers covetously, when she saw the eldest brother returning.
Great as Tchartkóff's terror was, he could not help staring covetously at the coin, and looked on with profound attention as it streamed rapidly through the spectre's bony hands, glittering and clinking with a dull thin metallic sound, and was then rolled up anew.
Lad, even a kid like you could be a killer with that six-gun. What will you lay ag'in' it?" And his red-stained eyes glanced covetously at the yellow heap of Pierre's money. "How much?" said Pierre eagerly. "Is there enough on the table to buy the gun?" "Buy?" said the other fiercely. "There ain't enough coin west of the Rockies to buy that gun. D'you think I'm yaller hound enough to sell my six?
