'Well, when all the sailors who were good for anything were indignant with our captain, this fellow, to curry favour pah! And to think of his being here! Oh, if he'd a notion I was within twenty miles of him, he'd ferret me out to pay off old grudges. I'd rather anybody had the hundred pounds they think I am worth than that rascal.
She quite forgot all grudges against him; she would have liked just at that moment to have the world stand quite still. This was very different from the ordinary Mae. Usually she longed that it might go faster, and would put her pink and white ear quite close to the brown earth to hear if it were turning as swiftly as ever it could. "I like it to hurry, hurry, hurry," said eager, restless Mae.
If he thinks you are in cahoots with Nelson he will make you trouble." "I'm not afraid of Scott," said Peter. "Well, you'll need to be if you mix up in his affairs. He holds grudges over nothing." "Awful bad man, Scott!" Douglas spoke with his quiet smile. "I'm telling you he is!" insisted Inez.
The sailormen bothered their heads very little about taxation without representation but whetted their anger with grudges more robust.

He's liable to have a heluva time an' don't you forget it for a minute." The fur-trader chewed his cud imperturbably. When he spoke it Was still without a trace of acrimony. "Guess you'll think better of that maybe, West. Guess you're a little hot under the collar, ain't you? Don't hardly pay to hold grudges, does it? There was Rhinegoldt now. Kept nursin' his wrongs an' finally landed in the pen.

Narcisse obeyed; but filled with a sentiment of rising rebellion and new-born insolence, as of one who intends no longer to be checked, nor submit to unmerited harshness and tyranny. There the two had an altercation, provoked by the old grudges, and aggravated by Narcisse's recent dissipation, escapade, and neglect of duty, and still more sharpened by his present pertness and contumacy.
"Followed? What for?" Tavernake demanded. "Oh, the usual thing!" answered the detective, with a shrug of the shoulders. "That company of crooks I showed you last night don't fancy having me around. They've a good many grudges up against Sam Pritchard. I am not quite so safe over here as I should be in New York. Most of them are off to Paris tomorrow, thank Heavens!" "And you?" Tavernake asked.
