"Upon my word, Newland, you obtained better terms than I could have expected from the old Hunks." "Much better than I expected also, major," replied I; "but now, how much of the money would you like to have?"
In her language dissipation is innocent diversion; pride is gentility; a perverse man is a fine manly fellow; drunkenness is good fellowship, and adultery is only the heat of youth. On the other hand, if she and her disciples are to be believed, the devout man is only a hypocrite or a blockhead; the gentle but a sneaking dog; the sober a mere hunks, and so on.
Besides her beauty, Mary had a thousand good qualities; she could play better on the harpsichord, she could dance more lightly, she could make better pickles and puddings, than any girl in Alsace; there was not a want or a fancy of the old hunks her father, or a wish of mine or my uncle's, that she would not gratify if she could; as for herself, the sweet soul had neither wants nor wishes except to see us happy.
The son of a hunks, he was still a hunks at heart, incapable of true generosity and consideration; but he had other qualities with which Frank could divert himself in the meanwhile, and to enjoy which it was necessary that Frank should keep his temper. So excellently was it controlled that he awoke next morning with his head full of a different, though a cognate subject.
Outside the rain was descending sullenly, and in this downpour the captives waited for a mortal hour. Then three men came along, bearing trays heaped up with thick hunks of brown bread. A hunk was doled out to each of the gang, and Tristram ate his portion greedily, slaking his thirst afterwards by sucking at the sleeve of his cloak.

I have omitted two or three unessential stories in the analysis. Act I, sc. ii. In the novel the heroine is shut up by a miserly hunks of an uncle to force her into a detested mercenary match with his son. In the play the mistress is the wife of the old and jealous keeper of the asylum. Preface to The Mercenary Lover, . The Rash Resolve, . The Double Marriage, . Lodge's Rosalynde, ed.
But now when coal is scarcer and high, or monopolized, at any rate, to make it high and scarce in the market, the exploiters are turning to water-power possibilities with hearty hankering, and the people are turning with hope." "I'm afraid I'm getting hunks out of that report of yours, ahead of official time." "You're getting the principle underlying it and you're welcome."
Two hundred and fifty thousand men, ready to cut in on Russia's right flank when she tries for India! Peachey, man, he says, chewing his beard in great hunks, 'we shall be Emperors Emperors of the Earth! Rajah Brooke will be a suckling to us. I'll treat with the Viceroy on equal terms. I'll ask him to send me twelve picked English twelve that I know of to help us govern a bit.

There was no order among us he that was captain to-day, was swabber to-morrow; and as for plunder they say old Avery, and one or two close hunks, made money; but in my time, all went as it came; and reason good, for if a fellow had saved five dollars, his throat would have been cut in his hammock. And then it was a cruel, bloody work. Pah, we'll say no more about it.
