Only when Squeers, immediately before the signal for the coach starting, wiped his mouth, with a self-satisfied "Thank God for a good breakfast," was the mug rapidly passed from mouth to mouth at once ravenously and tantalizingly. The long and bitter journey on the north road, through the snow, was barely referred to in the Reading; due mention, however, being made, and always tellingly, of Mr.
One wretched man was found gnawing a piece of the leg of a dog, and when some compassionate French tried to take it from him, he resisted, declaring he would not part with it till he was satisfied with bread. They fed him, but he could hardly masticate, though swallowing his food ravenously.
Whatever the soup was made of, it seemed to me the best soup I had ever eaten in New York, and I instantly determined never again to blame a working man or woman for dining in a saloon in preference to the more godly and respectable dairy-lunch room. We all ate ravenously, and I, who never before could endure the sight or smell of beer, found myself draining my "schooner" as eagerly as Mrs.
I couldn't yeat anything now. Shouldn't mind a big mug o' water. That's about my tune." In spite of himself, Scarlett broke off a piece of the bread cake, and began to eat ravenously. But he recollected himself directly, and placed some to the wounded man's lips.
It was ten minutes before he hunted out the last ant and went on. A little later they came to a small open space where the ground was wet, and after sniffing about a bit, and focussing his one good eye here and there, Neewa suddenly began digging. Very shortly he drew out of the ground a white object about the size of a man's thumb and began to crunch it ravenously between his jaws.
It smelt very good, and Jessie was ravenously hungry. "Does father have to go to work every day as early as this?" she asked. "Work!" cried Mrs. Lang, with a scornful laugh. "Work! I've never known your father work since he crossed my path! It's the races he's off to; you wouldn't find him get up at this hour for anything else." Jessie stared wide-eyed. "Doesn't he ever work?" she gasped.
Meta asked ravenously for more details, and when she had pretty well exhausted Ethel's stock, she said, "How nice it must be! Ethel, did you ever read the 'Faithful Little Girl?" "Yes; it was one of Margaret's old Sunday books. I often recollected it before I was allowed to begin Cocksmoor." "I'm afraid I am very like Lucilla!" said Meta. "What?
I myself had already spoken to you of that middle class which hungers so ravenously for place and office, distinctions and plumes, and which at the same time is so avaricious, so suspicious with regard to its money which it invests in banks, never risking it in agriculture or manufactures or commerce, having indeed the one desire to enjoy life without doing anything, and so unintelligent that it cannot see it is killing its country by its loathing for labour, its contempt for the poor, its one ambition to live in a petty way with the barren glory of belonging to some official administration.
He pushed over to her, hastily, with a kind of horror, the plate of sandwiches. She began eating them ravenously; but presently paused, and thrust them back toward him. He shook his head. "What's the matter with you?" she demanded. "Nothing," he replied. "You ordered them, didn't you? Ain't you eating anything?" "I'm not hungry," he said. She continued eating awhile without comment.
She is one of the young women who begin timidly, and when they see that they enjoy comparative impunity, grow intrepid in dissipation, and that palling, they are ravenously ambitious. She will drive him at his mark before the time is ripe ruin-him. He is a Titan, not a god, though god- like he seems in comparison with men. He would be fleshly enough in any hands.
