"I was just thinking of walking on, sooner than stand any longer getting gradually soaked," she confided to him with pleasant inconsiderateness. "Then will you take the use of my umbrella?" he asked promptly; "and perhaps you will let me carry your parcels for you," he suggested in the humblest manner possible, eyeing covetously her flower-pot, and the paper wisp from "Burnet's."
The sharp eyes in the child's head, wandering round the room, lighted on the table where the remnants of the dinner were. "Give me some of that!" he said, covetously. "Has she not fed you?" "I shall be hungry again to-morrow, sha'n't I? Ain't I hungry every day?"
Such is the irony of life. Visions of one of Aunt Mary's rare lunch-parties and of a small girl peeping covetously through a crack in the dining-room door, and of the gold china set, rose before her. But she could not eat. "Bread and jam and tea at Miss Turner's," Uncle Tom had said, and she had tried to smile at him.
An enormous sunbonnet of yellow nankeen completely concealed her head and face, but allowed two knotted and twisted brown tails of hair to escape under its frilled cape behind. She was evidently engaged in some culinary work, and still held a large tin basin or pan she had been cleaning clasped to her breast. Fleming's eye glanced at it covetously, ignoring the figure behind it.
Reulah sat motionless, his mouth agape, a finger extended. “The paramour of Pandera,” he stammered at last; and lowering his eyes, he looked at her covetously from beneath the lids. Simon, too, sat motionless. There was rage in his expression, hate even—that hatred which the beautiful excites in the base.

"How did I cunningly seek to deceive myself! So easily Fricka exposed my fallacies! To my deepest shame she looked through me. I must yield to her will." "You will take away then the victory from Siegmund?" "I touched Alberich's Ring," Wotan replies, "covetously I held the gold. The curse which I fled from, flees not from me!
A trunk stood in one corner of the room, and her eyes rested covetously upon this. Then she went to the wardrobe and swung the door open. Joy! the robe she sought was hanging on a peg within! With trembling hands she sought for the rent which she had seen the day but one before.
Dick had the cohuleen driuth in his hand, and was about to give it back to the Merrow, who looked covetously at it, but he thought for a moment, and then says he, 'Please your Reverence, she's a king's daughter. 'If she was the daughter of fifty kings, said Father Fitzgibbon, 'I tell you, you can't marry her, she being a fish.
In the meantime, let me inquire, John, why you did not add what a blessing it would be did they but understand the English! Your modesty and their insane bigotry furnish a strange group of nondescript governments, which Uncle John covetously fathers, though they be the illegal issues of that very honorable dredging machine, whose grapnels, always extended, are for ever bringing up something new.
