She was ready ready to the least little tensed nerve that tingled with eagerness under the calm surface.
They had neither blankets nor great coats, yet this did not seem to disturb them. Our soldier boy threw himself upon the ground, but the nap he had taken under the side of the log set his eyes wide open for a time. He could only think of home, his mother and sisters, and John, by this time snugly coiled away in the bed where he had been wont to dream of the glories of war.
Dampier passed the next few weeks in Port Royal, thinking of the jolly life at One Bush Key, and of the little huts, so snugly thatched, and of the camp fires, when the embers glowed so redly at night before the moon rose.

This is my victory and sweet is the scar to the heart of thy scarred eunuch." Claudia moved near the slave and looked closer at the scar. "It doth lie snugly near thy heart," she said.
