"Hello, Thomas!" he cried, waving his hand. Thomas saw him, stopped, and looked at him, doubtfully. He, with all the Section, knew how the school was going, and he easily guessed what took Hughie there. "I'm not going to school to-day," said Hughie, answering Thomas's look. Thomas nodded, and sat silent, waiting. He was not a man to waste his words. "I hate the whole thing!" exclaimed Hughie. "Foxy, eh?" said Thomas, to whom on other occasions Hughie had confided his grievances, and especially those he suffered at the hands of Foxy.英文原著 · 《Glengarry Schooldays》
I have just sent word to Hughes through one of our big New York financiers to make a smashing attack on Wilson for his actions, and to do it immediately, in connection with this Democratic Nominating Convention. Wilson was afraid of me. He never dared answer me; but if Hughes lets him, he will proceed to take the offensive against Hughes. I shall do everything I can for him, but don't forget that the efficiency of what I do must largely depend upon Hughes.英文原著 · 《Theodore Roosevelt》

A look passed between them. It was not friendly, it had no appeal; but it sufficed. There seemed to be expressed in it the knowledge bred by immemorial experience and immemorial time: This law before which we stand was not made by us! As dogs, when they hear the crack of a far whip, will shrink, and in their whole bearing show wary quietude, so Hughs and Mrs. Hughs, confronted by the questionings of Law, made only such answers as could be dragged from them. In a voice hardly above a whisper Mrs. Hughs told her tale. They had fallen out.英文原著 · 《Fraternity》
"Don't believe it," said Foxy, contemptuously. "Father's drawer is sometimes full of dimes and half-dimes. At least, there's an awful lot on Mondays, from the collections, you know," said Hughie. "Well, then, you had better get some for me, somehow," said Foxy. "You might borrow some from the drawer for a little while."
"That would be stealing," said Hughie. "You wouldn't mean to keep it," said Foxy. "You would only take it for a while. It would just be borrowing."
"It wouldn't," said Hughie, firmly.英文原著 · 《Glengarry Schooldays》
Wildly he scrambled on the floor in the dark, seeking for the quarter, while Jessie came nearer and nearer. "Are you going to bed already, Hughie?" she asked. Quickly Hughie went out to the hall to meet her. "Yes," he yawned, gratefully seizing upon her suggestion. "I'm awfully sleepy. Give me the candle, Jessie," he said, snatching it from her hand. "I want to go downstairs."
"Hughie, you are very rude. What would your mother say?英文原著 · 《Glengarry Schooldays》
