When Rob and I, with our camping outfit, drove off through the woods, Ptolemy's eyes followed us so enviously and he pleaded so eloquently to be taken with us that Rob was actually on the point of considering it. "See here, Rob Rossiter!" I exclaimed, "This is my vacation and all I came to this God-forsaken place for was to escape the Polydores. If he goes, I stay.
"Why, you'll be with Joel and Davie," said Polly. "Oh, you don't know how I miss those boys!" She rested both hands on the trunk edge as she knelt before it. "I wish you'd been our sister," said Van enviously, "then we'd have had good times always." "Oh, I don't see much of Joel," said Percy. "Dave once in a while I run across, but Joel dear me!"
"I swear," said young Moreland eagerly. She drew his head down and kissed him gently. "What an imagination!" she said softly and almost enviously. "I want you to lie to me just as sweetly as you know how for the rest of my life." The negroes' voices floated drowsily back, mingled in an air that she had heard them singing before.
It was the boy who got him into trouble with the Chinaman that July afternoon six months before. But Rex felt no resentment now. "If that was the only trouble I had to think about!" he told himself enviously. Of such power is comparison. Miles's train was on time. Rex saw Miles standing on the step of the forward car, ready to spring off at the first opportunity.
I don't want him to hear us talking about the darned thing." Archie looked over his shoulder and perceived that it was indeed so. Reggie was threading his way among the tables. "Well, HE looks pleased with things, anyway," said Bill, enviously. "Glad somebody's happy." He was right. Reggie van Tuyl's usual mode of progress through a restaurant was a somnolent slouch.
Thought it was all going to be adventures and pleasure, and it's all kicks and blows, just because I'm a boy." The poor fellow looked enviously at me, and sniffing loudly, walked on. "It ought to be stopped, uncle," I said. "The poor fellow's life is made miserable." "Yes, Nat. It is terrible to see how one man can make other people's lives a burden to them. I'm a regular tyrant to you sometimes."
"You doubt me still! I tell you, you have changed everything for me. I cannot forget you unless I lose my mind!" Ambrose, having filled the day as best he could with small tasks, was smoking beside his fire and enviously watching his dog. Job had no cares to keep him wakeful. It was about eight o'clock, and still full day.
You let me know, and if it's O.K. I'll be round to-morrow at eleven o'clock." "Where am I to let you know to?" "Ritz," replied Tuppence laconically. "Name of Cowley." Albert eyed her enviously. "It must be a good job, this tec business." "It sure is," drawled Tuppence, "especially when old man Rysdale backs the bill. But don't fret, son. If this goes well, you shall come in on the ground floor."
These are continent, to be sure: but doggish lust looketh enviously out of all that they do. Even into the heights of their virtue and into their cold spirit doth this creature follow them, with its discord. And how nicely can doggish lust beg for a piece of spirit, when a piece of flesh is denied it! Ye love tragedies and all that breaketh the heart? But I am distrustful of your doggish lust.
He used to read one sent him by a sporting officer of his name, and talk enviously of public schools, printed whatever they did a privilege and dignity of which, they had unrivalled enjoyment in the past, days, when wealth was more jealously exclusive; and he was always prompting for challenges and saving up to pay expenses; and the fellows were to laugh at kicks and learn the art of self-defence train to rejoice in whipcord muscles.
