In the same hand with which he held the reins, he clutched a shining ornament that he had torn from one of the holy statues. After Quail, an expert in such matters, had examined Manteca's treasure covetously, he uttered a solemn guffaw. "Hell, Your ornament is nothing but tin!" "Why in hell are you hanging on to that poison?" Pancracio asked Blondie who appeared dragging a prisoner.
She left the arbour and walked away without listening to his rejoinder. He followed her covetously with his eyes, murmuring as he sprang to the ground a wish that those apples also could be stolen. Vera, for her part, said not a word to her aunt of this meeting, but she confided nevertheless in her friend Natalie Ivanovna after exacting a promise of secrecy.
The high dry lands of many of the Rocky Mountain States had long been regarded covetously by an industry even more cordially disliked by the cattleman than the industry of farming. The sheepman began to raise his head and to plan certain things for himself in turn. Once the herder of sheep was a meek and lowly man, content to slink away when ordered.
Exhausted with the struggle, we sat in silence for some time, facing each other. Shakro glanced covetously toward the spot, where I had flung the red muslin, and said: "What were we fighting about? Fa Fa Fa! It's very stupid. I did not steal it from you did I? Why should you care? I was sorry for you that is why I took the linen.
"And first you are, and shall be, Dolores," whispered Pearse, leaning his chin on her forehead and glaring covetously at the littered wealth of the chests. "What man of warm blood can see any other being or thing when Dolores is by?" "Then come. I believe thee," she said, rising slowly. "Come with me, my man above price. See here."
"Caspita!" he resumes, after a pause, once more bending his eyes covetously upon the birds, and as if an idea had suddenly occurred to him, "I think I know of a way by which we may circumvent these two tall stalkers." "How?" eagerly asks Cypriano. "By going at them garzoneando." "Garzoneando!" exclaims Ludwig in echo. "Good Gaspar, whatever do you mean by that?"
As his swifter comrades passed him, he clutched at them covetously. "Ands off!" screamed a lanky lad. The fat man's knife flashed. The lad fell. The others raced on. What was it to them? As they came, they tossed up tormented faces. Their eyes were peep- holes. Through them he stared into the bottomless pit, and there beheld things not meant for human vision.
What was the good of keeping these worldly goods, that the avarice of Government taxation confiscated so easily, and that the Barbarians watched covetously from afar! The brutes who came down from Germany would get hold of them sooner or later. And even supposing one might save them, retain an ever-uncertain enjoyment of them, was the life of the time really worth the trouble of living?
She had a cryin' spell when she waked up, but I didn't know which way they'd gone." Ellen came wandering round the side of the house, and Lucindy crooked a trembling finger at her. "Come here!" she called. "You come here and see me!" Ellen walked up to her with a steady step, and laid one little brown hand on Lucindy's knee. But the old Judge's daughter drew the child covetously to her lap.
He took it all into his heart, covetously, greedily, trying to fix it there for ever. Presently he was called in by the vicar, and found a tempting tea spread in a light upper room, where Agnes and Rose were already making fun of the chromo-lithographs and rummaging the visitors' book.
