The event had proved the prophecy, and to all appearance it was a perfectly successful mating. Abel was the first to move under her gaze, and rising from his chair by the fire, he took up his hat, and made his way slowly through the group, which parted grudgingly, and closed quickly together.

When we've finished in here we'll attend to you." The door slammed once more, and he went away shaking his head. At lunch-time they grudgingly admitted him, and, although they protested that they were not half through, he was naively astonished at the change they had brought to pass.

"He is a devil that blue-eyed one!" the natives were saying grudgingly to one another; but they were stubborn and would not cheer. "Saw you ever a riata thrown as he threw it? Not José Pacheco himself ever did so impossible a thing; truly the devil is in that gringo." So they muttered amongst themselves when he came back to the corral and slipped, laughing, from Solano's sweat-roughened back.

Black Tex set out the bottle negligently and stood waiting. "Is that all?" he inquired pointedly, as the old man slopped out a drink. "Well, have one yourself," returned the old-timer grudgingly. Then, realizing his breach of etiquette, he suddenly straightened up and included the entire barroom in a comprehensive sweep of the hand. "Come up hyar, all of yoush," he said drunkenly.

Now then, the government, which has a constant fear of the people, denies to the farmers even the use of a shotgun, or if it does allow it does so very grudgingly and withdraws it at pleasure; whence it results with the laborer, who, thanks to his means of defense, plants his crops and invests his meager fortune in the furrows that he has so laboriously opened, that when his crop matures, it occurs to the government, which is impotent to suppress brigandage, to deprive him of his weapon; and then, without defense and without security he is reduced to inaction and abandons his field, his work, and takes to gambling as the best means of securing a livelihood.

Quite naturally I was surprised for the moment at a bit of unexpected news but that was all. I give you my word that was all." "Very well, then," Thorpe consented grudgingly to mutter. He continued his sullen scrutiny of the man standing before him, noting how the vivacity of his bearing had deteriorated in these few minutes.

"Well, I must say your boots are in a nice state!" she said. He looked at his feet. Then he took off his overcoat. His mother wondered if he were drunk. "She caught the train then?" she said. "Yes." "I hope HER feet weren't so filthy. Where on earth you dragged her I don't know!" He was silent and motionless for some time. "Did you like her?" he asked grudgingly at last. "Yes, I liked her.

Then she had lost the feeling of resemblance, and told herself that she must have imagined it. The two faces came back to her now, and again she saw them alike. She was glad that Knight had never invited Morello to call, and glad that when grudgingly she had asked one day after the two men who had witnessed their marriage, Knight had said, "Gone out of England. We just caught them in time."

And in condemning him and his family, I must condemn myself also. We were all of us so smug and self-satisfied. We had blindly believed that it was our birthright to reap where we had not sown. Nevertheless, though the truth was so plain to me in that moment, I accepted it grudgingly. The voice of my artificial self clamoured for a hearing.

But his work had been done grudgingly, and his disposition to shirk had more than once gained him short terms in the guardhouse. Of all the group approaching him he most heartily disliked Frank. In the first place, Frank had never permitted him to bully him when they were with Moore & Thomas, and the two had been more than once on the brink of a fight.
