He carried the note home, however, and handed it to Belle in a playful manner, while he bestowed his customary caress, and received a kiss in return. 'Young lady, what do you think of that? he asked. It was fortunate or rather most unfortunate that Hiram did not entertain the slightest suspicion of his daughter: else he would have been led to scrutinize her countenance as he made the remark.
Don't make my darkness darker, Edith." He laid his head upon her lap, still kneeling before her, the iron-willed man kneeling to the weak young girl, whose hands were folded together like blocks of lead, and gave him back no answering caress, only the words, "Richard, I can't. It's too sudden. I have thought of you always as my elder brother, Be my brother, Richard.
It was not death that frightened him: it was the horror of bewildered life where he could understand nothing and nobody round him; where he could guide, control, comprehend nothing and no one not even himself. He felt a touch on his side. That contact, lighter than the caress of a mother's hand on the cheek of a sleeping child, had for him the force of a crushing blow.
These things being true, if it is wrong to work on Sunday, it is wrong to love on Sunday; every smile is a sin, every caress a curse, and all tenderness a crime. Must there not come a time, if we grow in mentality and spirit, when we shall cease to differentiate and quit calling some work secular and some sacred? Would any priest ever preach and pray if somebody didn't hoe?
I sat talking there for three-quarters of an hour. My man was as bare as a worm, lean, black, dry, but perfectly serene.

My stag was grazing also, but he allowed me to caress him, just as if we had been old friends, and he never left the place until the next morning, when we ourselves started.

And there stood Gordon, looking on with no trace of jealousy; smiling rather, as if he enjoyed the spectacle of another man embracing the lady. Barry looked helplessly at Miss Sheldon. Her face wore a smile which plainly said she approved the whole business.
To be this man's plaything, to submit to his moods, to his jealousies, to his caprices to be his to fumble and caress, his to have the fury of his passion wreak itself upon her with no response from her but only repulsion and loathing and the long dreary hours and days and years alone with him, listening to his commonplaces, often so tedious, forced to try to amuse him and to keep him in a good humor because he held the purse-strings
Kenelm bent down and covered with kisses the blue ribbon which Lily's hand had bound round the favourite's neck. Blanche submitted to the caress for a moment, and then catching a slight rustle among the shrubs made by some awaking bird, sprang into the thick of the quivering leaves and vanished.
My beautiful, tender Zara! How innocently happy she seemed to be thus embraced! and how gently her fragrant lips met mine in that sisterly caress! She leaned her dark head for a moment on my shoulder, and the mysterious jewel on her breast flashed into a weird red hue like the light of a stormy sunset.
