In another moment he had sprung from one side of the ship to the other, and, to Tommy's great surprise, had seized him in his arms, and gazing anxiously in his face, began to hug him as if he was about to squeeze all the breath out of his body. Tommy looked up at length in return. "Father!" he exclaimed, hesitatingly, drawing deeply his breath; "is it you, is it you indeed?"
Suddenly she felt the loss of her mother. She belonged to no one in the world. "Poor petite." She made a sudden snatch at her own baby and hugged it so tightly that it shrieked, at which she laughed. "Some day a man will hug thee and thou wilt not scream," she said in good humor. Pani came from round the corner and then darted back. The boy left his work and came forward.
"Mother, you are an angel and I have to hug you right here in the cabin, even if that black-eyed man over there with the pile of telegrams in front of him is looking a hole through us." She suited the action to the word and Mrs. Brown, emerging from the bear hug that Molly was prone to give, surprised a smile on the dark face of their fellow traveler.
The day you sent me to Soleure to get your letters, I got down at a roadside dairy to get a glass of milk. It was served to me by a young wench who caught my fancy, and I gave her a hug; she raised no objection, and in a quarter of an hour she made me what you see." "Have you told anyone about it?" "I took good care not to do so, as I should only have got laughed at.

"Let's take a look!" shouted Wabi close up to his companion's ear.

For half a minute he stood fascinated, terror-stricken, and yet in those thirty seconds he saw that which would remain with him for a lifetime.
What sayest thou: let's take one of these unwieldy vessels and away to the North? I'll lead thee to a better land than Egypt a land of lake and mountain, and great forests of sweet-scented pine; ay, and find thee a girl fit to mate with my own niece a girl strong and tall, with wide blue eyes and long fair hair, and arms that could crack thy ribs were she of a mind to hug thee!
I bowed in acknowledgment of his courtesy, apologising for being so ill prepared to receive his "hug", as I observed that my saturated vestments had wet the old fellow to the skin.

His hair was white and short, while a moustache, somewhat grizzled, shaded his lips.
"Oh, don't call me 'madame. Call me Teresa, just as your mother did many years ago." And Teresa took the lamp and brought it close to Paula. "No, you hardly have any similiarity in your face, but your voice is like hers. Now, let me hug you once more, my treasure." And Teresa pressed to her heart the motherless child. "In my country they say I am like Papa.
The cool fresh air had an instantaneous effect on my shattered nerves, the violent throbbing in my head ceased, and I began to hug myself with the notion that my distemper, whatever it might have been, had beaten a retreat. Suddenly I felt so collected and comfortable, as to be quite alive to the loveliness of the scene.
