The whole story had spread like wildfire; they expostulated with her, they told her now was the time to show she had a heart, and bless the young people. She rewarded them with a valuable precept. "Mind your own business!" said she. "Hech! y' are a dour wife!" cried Newhaven. The dour wife bent her eyes on the ground.
His piety was rewarded, for, in turning a page, her book slipped from her fingers and bounded from the bench a full yard away. The young man pounced upon it with instant avidity, returning it to its owner with that air that seems to flourish in parks and public places a compound of gallantry and hope, tempered with respect for the policeman on the beat.
He was like a fly condemned to spend his life in the irk-some society of the spider. When he had not much to give, his poverty was rewarded by years in prison; and then, as he says himself, he "was welcomed back into the old criminal life by crooked police officials." These officials had no desire to help him.
Hurlbut was dreadfully in earnest about that time to commence business. He soon succeeded in making a commencement; his talent and industry were rewarded by one of the largest and most lucrative practices in that section, extending through Wayne, Holmes, Tuscarawas, Carroll, Columbiana, and Summit counties. As a lawyer he was very successful.
Of course, I was sometimes rewarded, for my early rising and wet feet, by a nice turkey to take home to father and mother for dinner.

None of these being priests, yet presuming to meddle with the priest's office.
She turned it over, and at the end, through her tears, she saw those words "Believe me, that I love you dearly." They were not like the burning words, the sweet violent protestations of a passionate lover. But coming from him, they were enough. At last she was to be rewarded. And then at length she read it.
Standing on the height which he has gained, he is glad to look back, but he can also now see in front of him. "'What is now impending? Who can say? This century, which has seen all the sovereigns leading revolutionary movements, is the strangest of all. We despots, who forced enlightenment and freedom on the peoples we were the demagogues and they rewarded us with ingratitude.
Beginning thus with our quietest note, the interest of any one looking in, or coming in, from the public front is steadily quickened and progressively rewarded, while the crowning effects at the rear of the buildings are reserved for the crowning moment when the visitor may be said to be fully received.
His wife looked at him, and she said, in a law, angry tone: "I call that infamous; here we have been wearing ourselves out for ten years in looking after her, and have boarded and lodged her! Your sister would not have done so much for her, nor I either, if I had known how I was to be rewarded! Yes, it is a disgrace to her memory!
