"If the sheep thrive," she ventured to remark, so that the comforting old themes might be kept up. "That's the particular 'if!" said Robert, signifying something that had to be leaped over. Master Gammon performed the feat with agility. "Sheep never was heartier," he pronounced emphatically. "Lots of applications for melon-seed, Gammon?"
Scrooge had forgotten, for the moment, about her sitting in the corner with the footstool, or he wouldn't have done it on any account. "Why, bless my soul!" cried Fred, "who's that?" "It's I. Your uncle Scrooge. I have come to dinner. Will you let me in, Fred?" Let him in! It is a mercy he didn't shake his arm off. He was at home in five minutes. Nothing could be heartier.
But when she felt his hand trying to turn up her chin, so that her young lips might meet his, she slipped decidedly away. "No? All right." Johnny gave a short, uncertain laugh. "All right, little girl, I'll be good." She had risen to her feet and he rose now and his voice changed to a heartier note.
She had put him out! No wonder. After a while I was carried to the gallery, and there I would talk to the little doctor about the yellow fever which had swept the city. Monsieur Perrin was not much of a doctor, to be sure, and he had a heartier dread of the American invasion than of the scourge.
Swain who arrived first of the four. But he could express as much of joy and welcome in his face and manner as could Captain Daniel with his heartier ways. "It does me good to see you, lad," he said, pressing my hand. "I heard you were home, and sent off an express to Patty and the mother last night." "And are they not here?"

The new papers were more aggressive than the earlier ones, and for that reason found a heartier welcome in some quarters, and met with a sharper antagonism in others. It amuses me to look back on some of the attacks they called forth.
You lied to the undertaker, and said your health was failing a wholly commendable lie, since it cost you nothing and pleased the other man. If a stranger called and interrupted you, you said with your hearty tongue, "I'm glad to see you," and said with your heartier soul, "I wish you were with the cannibals and it was dinner-time."
But in this he was mistaken; Daubeny was a firm believer in the principle of La carriere ouverte aux talons; he was, under the circumstances, quite as happy to be second as to be first; and among the many who congratulated Walter, none did so with a heartier sincerity than this generous and single-minded boy.
The whole congregation joined in singing the hymns and such of the chants as were familiar, and rarely had the singing been heartier. The service was over and the sermon, and then, as the last hymn was sung, the call was given for the candidates to come forward in answer to the reading of their names. How many of them there were!
I need not add how well that gifted and versatile gentleman discharged the distinguished and pleasing duty." The last time I met Theodore Roosevelt was but a little while before his death. Riggs, of the New York Central, at his invitation had a jolly midday breakfast, extending far into the afternoon. I never knew him happier or heartier. His jocund spirit rarely failed him.
