The worthy man cradled in his arms, as Dorippe had just done in Lysander's house, a little squealing creature, and this, too, was a pig; but it wore no ribbon around its little tail and ears, was not particularly fat, and had numerous black spots under its scanty bristles and on its sharp snout. The old man was gazing at the innocent creature by no means tenderly, but with the utmost indignation.
When she lingered in the oratory of our Blessed Mother long after the sun had set, and the menials passed by on tiptoe lest they should mar the celestial expression of her face, was she doing nothing?

Somehow, after the fashion of other years, they got their meager crops in turnips, potatoes and Hubbard squashes put up in the vegetable cellar; oats cradled; corn husked; the buckwheat ready for the mill; even Tom's crooked furrows for the spring sowings made.

The long black train glided along above a sea flushed with purple and crimson and gold. Like a mirage the fair city Longfellow's "white water-lily, cradled and caressed" arose, lifting her spires those "filaments of gold" above the waters. "Can it be real?" murmured Bettina. "It seems as if all must fade away before we reach it."
A delicious perfume came from the cradled bottle, and bore an ethereal, evanescent testimony to the truth of what he said: and the taste, though too delicate for wine quaffed in England, was nevertheless delicious, when minutely dwelt upon. "It gives me pleasure to drink your health, Mr. Middleton," said the host.
The square was bathed in a radiance of frosty sunlight, and the buildings at the south stood diamond-clear under a flawless sky. The monument to the man whose courage and decision had cradled a nation's birth gleamed in its granite whiteness. But Paul Burton felt small, afraid and besmirched of soul.
A female was lying on a bed of green silk; under her head was a pillow of the same material; her right arm had, no doubt, cradled her babe; and her left was extended as though for the purpose of keeping her child close to her.
