"It must be lonely for her!" said Aubrey quickly, "She is so mignonne so caressable so made for love and care and tenderness " Here he broke off, vexed with himself for having said so much, and his face flushed warmly. The Princesse stopped in her walk and looked at him straightly. "Mr. Leigh," she said, "I think I hope you are an honest man! And do you know the best advice I can give you?"
Lizzy Hunter was one of the clinging, caressing, caressable women, who nestle into men's affections as kittens nestle into warm corners, and from very much the same motives, love of warmth and shelter, and of being fondled.

One smiles when one thinks how largely a fine starved sense for the forbidden things of earth, if it makes the most of its opportunities, may gratify this need under cover of devotion. Nothing is too base, too hard, too sordid for real humility, but nothing too elegant, too amiable, too caressing, caressed, caressable, for the exaltation of faith.

The country is beautiful in the New England measure, but it is of a softer and smaller beauty; it looks more caressable; it is like Vermont rather than New Hampshire, and it is more like New England than Old England in the greater number of isolated farm-houses, from which the girls as well as the boys come to the university colleges for learning undreamt of by English farm villagers.
