"My grandmother's name was Emma." Jennifer was smiling again. "Sure," Oliver said, "I like it. What if it's a boy?" "I don't know," she said. "My father's name is Gene." "How about Frisco?" "Frisco? But that's a place, not a person . . ." "Nakano. Nakano Prescott, now there's a name." "I don't know." Jennifer's hands went protectively to her belly. "Nak? Naky?" Oliver raised his voice.
In the middle of this hot, excitedly-talking audience, they seemed to bask as in a warm pool of brilliant light. The brilliants in the dome of the theatre intensified all the shadows, heightened all the smiles, illumined all the silken blouses and silver bangles, the flashing eyes, the general air of fête. "All right?" Alf inquired protectively. Emmy looked in gratitude towards him.
Piebald horse, broad, eccentric wagon, cymbals and drum there was no mistaking the outfit, nor the minstrel himself with his broad-brimmed sombrero tipped protectively over his nose. Now despite the fact that the Baron had hinted that Ronador's masquerade was at an end, the music-machine steadily approached and halted.
Since on the reef the shells are frequently protectively disguised with seaweed and other growth, it is only after the violence of a cyclone that the amateur collector expects to be rewarded. Unlike some others of the family, the cockscomb oyster, though not objecting to the near-by presence of its kind, seems to hate a crowd.
A sensation of bright light would be untoward. The armored car started off, with motorcyclists crowded about it with weapons ready. But the ride to the airport was uneventful.

He took her hand protectively in his.
I longed to stay and gaze at them both I would have liked to have touched the baby's queer little fat fingers I would have liked Oh I know not what And all the time Miss Sharp held the child protectively, as though something evil would come from me and harm it. Then she turned and carried it out of the room and I went back into my sitting-room and flung myself down in my chair .
Kâramanèh's eyes were wide with fear; her peerless colouring had fled, and she was white to the lips. Azîz, who wore a dressing-gown thrown hastily over his night attire, had his arm protectively about the girl's shoulders. "The mummy!" she whispered tremulously, "the mummy!"
For that week he gave no trouble to any one. But after it he never went near Grannie's room, and for years he never spoke to her. When he passed her open door, or in front of her window, he hunched his shoulder protectively and averted his eyes. Resenting control in any shape or form, Tom naturally objected to school. His stepmother would have had him go for his own sake as well as hers.

She lifted her shoulders, and, after a second's cold pause, said they were people from down below, and then, in her rather strident, shrill, slightly bitter, slightly derogatory voice, she added: 'They are not people for you, signore.
