excited state of desire or passion; thus, a child is
eager for a plaything, a hungry man is eager for food,

to frequent abuses, and is good or bad, as the case
may be. It relates to what is praiseworthy or the

feeling, or sentiment. It is always taken in a good
sense; as, a preacher is earnest in his appeals to the
conscience; an agent is earnest in his solicitations.
