He was big-hearted enough to be glad that Toby's gift seemed finer and more useful than his. It was only when the "Leap of Death" act preceding Polly's turn was announced, that the big fellow gave up feasting his eyes on the satchel and coat, and hid them away in the big property trunk.
Sometimes I would see him smuggle a letter into his side pocket, with "H'm! That will do later." "What is it?" I would ask. "Oh, nothing, nothing!" he would answer. "Hand it out, sir," I would say, and then I would find a fierce delight in sending six freezing words of refusal to some impudent woman who was trying to play upon the tender side of my big-hearted boy.

Did you miss anything last evening after I was in? It was too good a chance there they were lying right under my eyes.

There was such a big-hearted friendliness in her voice that Mrs. Schuyler's heart responded.
He doesn't dare leave the country and abandon the meagre thousands he has invested in buildings, so he has stayed on living off the country like a Siwash. He's a simple, big-hearted sort of fellow, but his life is centred in this business; it's all he knows.
