They spoke to him in quite a patronising way, and even asked him two or three direct questions about fighting in the trenches, and wounds and the dead men in No Man's Land and the other horrors that the civilian mind hankers to hear about.

I've never worn it since I came to Glenboro, so nobody will know it's mine, and I never mean to wear it again for it's got too tight. It's a trifle old-fashioned, but that won't matter for Glenboro, and it will fit Miss Ponsonby all right. She's about my height and figure. I'm determined that poor soul shall have a dissipation for once in her life since she hankers for it. Come on now, Elizabeth.
Her father married again, an' I'm glad to say never had another child, an' I believe hankers for Dawn, an' he will hanker for my part; an' I've got Dawn tootered up agen him too. Now you can see the blow it would be to me if she took up with a swell there's no happiness marryin' out of yer own religion or class. Mine was what I'd call a love match now. Jim Clay was a lover!
I take an interest in that unfortunate party, my lady; and if you knew how she hankers after a sight of you how poor and ill and heart-broken she is how she longs to hear you say once, 'I forgive you, before she dies well, you wouldn't be so hard."

His silence and his concentration give him a picturesqueness which his rivals lack. He stands apart from the human race in a chill and solitary grandeur. He seeks advertisement as little as he hankers after pleasure.
"Yes," sez he with intense conviction in his tone. "One wife is enough for any man, heaven knows, and anybody that hankers after more than one is a fool!" I didn't really like his axent; he'd been layin' it up, I guess what I said about vittles, but I didn't mind it. And we went through the different quarters of the city.
"""The tongue said, 'These arrows, O Alarka, will not cross through me. They will only pierce thy own vital parts and thy vital parts being pierced, thou shalt die. Do thou look for other arrows with which to destroy me. Hearing these words and reflecting upon them, he said as follows. """Alarka said, 'The skin, touching diverse objects of touch, hankers after them only.
He then immediately proceeded to his complaints, and said, "There, my lady cousin; there stands the most undutiful child in the world; she hankers after a beggarly rascal, and won't marry one of the greatest matches in all England, that we have provided for her." "Indeed, cousin Western," answered the lady, "I am persuaded you wrong my cousin. I am sure she hath a better understanding.
At least a thoroughly converted philosopher for poor dear Synesius is half heathen still, I often fancy, and hankers after the wisdom of the Egyptian will be a curious sight; and to talk with so famous and so learned a man would always be a pleasure; but to argue with him, or any other human being, none whatsoever.
