Still, people shook their heads over him, and one grudging friend, to whom he affirmed that he took the step with his eyes open, replied oracularly: "Yes and with your ears shut." Waythorn could afford to smile at these innuendoes. In the Wall Street phrase, he had "discounted" them.
"In all the arithmetics six beats five, and seven beats six." "They're wrong," Thorpe declared, and then consented to laugh in a grudging, dogged way at his friend's facial confession of puzzlement. "What I mean is what's the good of piling up money, while you can't pile up the enjoyments it will buy?
Holy Poverty! teach me to endure without complaining, to impart without grudging, to seek the end of life higher than in pleasure, farther off than in power. Thou givest the body strength, thou makest the mind more firm; and, thanks to thee, this life, to which the rich attach themselves as to a rock, becomes a bark of which death may cut the cable without awakening all our fears.
"Guess I'll stick to you, then, fur's you go; 't is kind o' blind in them big places." Elisha faintly nodded a meek but grudging assent; then, after a few moments, he boldly rose, tall umbrella in hand, and joined the talkative company of old and young men at the other side of the wharf.
We went, however, and Scott, who seemed to be on the most familiar terms with the cicerone, pointed to an empty niche, and said to him: "I think I have a Virgin and Child that will just do for your niche. I'll send it to you." "How happy you have made that man," I said. "Oh," said Scott, "it was always in the way, and Madam Scott is constantly grudging it house-room. We're well rid of it."
She feeling her power and his weakness now gave herself wholly to his embrace, not grudging one single, passionate caress, yielding her lips to him, the while she murmured: "You cannot go... you cannot... why should you go?... It is madness to leave me... I cannot let you go..."
We're not to say outrageous things in the mere desire to shock our guide, or tease him." "You don't mean to say you think that I ?" "It's not funny." "It mayn't be funny but it's fun! Go on and lecture. You haven't got a bit of fun in you." "Yes, I have!" said Gerald, and with a creeping smile grudging at first, then brighter looked Mrs.
It was a great triumph one of the greatest of the world war, and the only reason that mankind has not heard more about it is probably because of the grudging German censor. "I'm glad it went," said Archer confidentially. "I was shaking in my shoes." "There wasn't any reason to shake," said Tom. "I knew it would go." "Same as we will." "Hush," said Tom.
One hears him mentioned in those same accents of grudging caution which the villagers use in speaking of unfriendly property-owners, as though he belonged to that alien caste. The cottagers feel that they themselves are the people whom he is stationed in the valley to watch. They feel it; nor can it be denied that there is some excuse for the feeling.
It would be unfair to Major Hockin to take him for an extravagant man or a self-indulgent one because of the good dinner he had ordered, and his eagerness to sit down to it. Through all the best years of his life he had been most frugal, abstemious, and self-denying, grudging every penny of his own expense, but sparing none for his family.
