"I don't know. I find it very attractive," he said, instinctively on the defensive because of Rosamund, who had not been attacked. "The coziness and the peace of it are very delightful after all the well, of course, it was a pretty stiff life in South Africa." Again he looked at Brayfield's letter. He wanted to tell Mrs. Clarke about Brayfield, but it seemed she had no interest in the dead man.
A deep sense of the coziness of the situation possessed them all which was if possible intensified by the spectacle of the captain, seated on the upper deck, and smoking a cigar that flashed and fainted like a stationary fire-fly in the gathering dusk. How very distant, in this mood, were the most recent events!
My wife's fertile brain would paint to me in pleasing colors what the country home should be the cottage and its coziness, the garden, the lawn and flowers, my health restored, the benefit of country life to the boy, and the relief to my mind through largely reduced living expenses. We were eager for the time to come to make the change. On the twelfth of December our second child was born.
I had to stand up two hours because I couldn't find the Homeburg bench. I'm an admirer of big cities, Jim, and I wouldn't have you take a foot off your Woolworth building, or a single crashity!! bang!! out of your subways, but I wish there was a little more coziness in your depots. Why, at Homeburg I'm nearer the train at my house than I am in New York after I've got to the station.
Back of the trenches often lay great heaps of refuse like the kitchen middens of primeval man. Attempts at coziness had achieved a little success in some places, but nearly everywhere the abode of burrowing soldiers was raw, rank and fetid. Heavy and hideous odors arose from the four hundred miles of unwashed armies. Men lived amid disease, dirt and death.
Underneath the washing waves The requiem of the sea, For those whose hopes are buried there, Is tolling ceaselessly. It was interesting to go to sleep in a Pullman car, and to wake up in a dainty room hung with rosebud chintz draperies, and with an altogether delightful air of coziness about it. But there was something outside their room that, like a magnet, drew them out of bed.
And you, my dear child, must by all means go and amuse yourself with the young people; just leave the catering to me; I know all about that." And the kind-hearted woman looked with her honest gray eyes at her host's pretty daughter, and patted her on the cheek. How nice that felt! There was a peculiar coziness in the touch of the comfortable old lady's soft hand.

Some goats tripped by, brown against the brown stone the dark brown earth of the native houses. Intimate life was here, striking the note of coziness of Luxor. Here was none of the sadness and the majesty of Denderah. Grand are the ruins of Luxor, noble is the line of columns that boldly fronts the Nile, but Time has given them naked to the air and to the sun, to children and to animals.
Don't grin; it isn't mine, worse luck! But I must begin at the beginning. Just after I wrote you before, there came a terrific storm which made me appreciate indoor coziness, but as only Baby and I were at home I expected to be very lonely. The snow was just whirling when I saw some one pass the window. I opened the door and in came the dumpiest little woman and two daughters.
