"Don't it jest naturally beat thunder the way he's cottoned up to that yellow dog of a Yavapai Joe?" mused another, encouraged by Curly's silence. "Three or four of the boys told how they'd seen 'em together off an' on, but I didn't think nothin' of it until I seen 'em myself when we was workin' over at Tailholt. It was one evenin' after supper.
I have been that chap's classical, commercial, mathematical, philosophical, and trigonomical friend. My son my only son, Wackford has been his brother; Mrs Squeers has been his mother, grandmother, aunt, ah! and I may say uncle too, all in one. She never cottoned to anybody, except them two engaging and delightful boys of yours, as she cottoned to this chap. What's my return?
"Madame, you are just as sweet as you can be. I cottoned to you right off the minute I saw you, just as I did to 'sonny, over there," pointing to the noble scion of the house. The governess made a note of the word "cotton."
Primmins's bones, they had been myths these twenty years, and you might as soon have found a Plesiosaurus in the fat lands of Romney Marsh as a bone amidst those layers of flesh in which my poor father thought he had so carefully cottoned up his Cardan.

Freddy was only too glad that Michael had "cottoned on to Meg," as he expressed it in fact, he was extremely pleased, for Meg would drive "the other woman" out of his thoughts, and if anything should come of it well, Mike was one of the very best; Meg could not have a better husband.

Louis tailor-made, blue-and-green plaid suit, and an eighteen- carat sulphate-of-copper scarf-pin, with no hope in sight except the two great Texas industries, the cotton fields and grading new railroads. I never picked cotton, and I never cottoned to a pick, so the outlook had ultramarine edges.
"We don't seem to have run agin each other since you've been here," he said with an assurance that was nevertheless a trifle forced "but I reckon we're both busy men, and there's a heap too much loafing goin' on in Gilead. Captain Jim told me he met you the day you arrived; said you just cottoned to the 'Guardian' at once and thought it a deal too good for Gilead; eh?
And I told 'em how he went down in the 'Fly Away', and how the lovely ladies you remember how we used to call the whitecaps lovely ladies fondled him out to sea and on to heaven." "And what did the Padre think of that?" "Well, he's got a heart, I should say, and that's why Phil cottoned to him, maybe, for he looked as if he'd seen ghosts.
Shore if you hadn't made up to her I'd have.... An', Neale, if you say Pard, I'm yours till I'm daid!" "Pard!" replied Neale, as he met the outstretched hand. Slingerland's hard and wrinkled face softened. "Strange how we all cottoned to thet girl! No I reckon it ain't so strange. Wal, it's as it oughter be. You saved her. May you both be happy, son!" Neale slipped a ring from his little finger.
