But little provision was in their wallets when they had started, for there was little to draw upon, and that furnished grudgingly, as may well be supposed. Zeke had not cared. He remembered the continuous feasting that had attended his journey to camp, and supposed that he would only have to present himself to the roadside farmhouses in order to enjoy the fat of the land.
I showed it to him because I used to live there. Don't be selfish, Archie. There's plenty of chances for you to make money. Get your pail, Thompson!" "We-ll," said Archibald grudgingly. "So long as it's not sure that Bowring can spare me the money, let him take over a third if he wants to." "Sure I do," grinned the prospective buyer, highly elated, "and much obliged to you, too, Mr. Archibald.
As she was willing to pay what seemed to the landlord an extraordinary rent though he carefully concealed his feelings on this point he somewhat grudgingly agreed to put in the skylight and shingle the roof. "But when it comes to paint and paper and plumbing, the house isn't worth it, and I can't agree to do it," he declared positively. "Not for any one year rental."
Channing's face clouded with a quick frown, "Oh," he exclaimed, in a hurt voice, "they couldn't have thought that."

Channing recognized the picture with a laugh. "I do," he said, "I do.
Now, in a pause, while I was being brought back to consciousness to be again tortured, Galen succeeded in gaining the attention of Ravillanus enough to induce him, though grudgingly, to permit the celebrated advocate, Memmius Tuditanus, whom they had brought with them, to speak in my behalf.

The sacrifices of property, in a thousand ways, must be immense; every man, however, from his diminished fortune, is "ready to distribute," and "not grudgingly or of necessity." His public spirit makes him love to give.
"Yes, youth and color and bravery!" He shook his head moodily, as if Jim's statement brought up some vital, unpleasant, but inevitable fact to his mind. "It's beyond me how anybody can help liking him!" concluded Galway stubbornly. "I like him yes, I do like him! I cannot help it!" the Doge admitted rather grudgingly as he turned away. "So we weren't so far apart, after all!"

Hamilcar had desired the taking of prisoners, but the Carthaginians obeyed him grudgingly, so much pleasure did they derive from plunging their swords into the bodies of the Barbarians.
Then it grudgingly slipped back, and Laurie followed his guide into a dark hall, which was cold and damp. "They don't heat this building." The voice of Shaw came out of the darkness. He had closed the door and was standing by Laurie's side, fumbling in his pocket for something which proved to be a match-box.
I knew that no one could have entered that garden without Agathemer's knowledge. I could not conceive how Capito came to be there. He greeted me formally and asked permission to seat himself beside me. I gave it rather grudgingly. He asked after my health and I answered only less grudgingly. "I conjecture," he said, "that you are surprised to see me here?" "I am surprised," I said shortly.
