She wasn't a nice cuddly person like Mother, but after all it was she who had thought of packing up the odds and ends of things to eat. It was Aunt Emma, too, who had aired all the sheets ready; and the men who had moved the furniture had put the bedsteads together, so the beds were soon made. "Good night, chickies," said Mother. "I'm sure there aren't any rats.
"You don't act as if you did," Polly sighed; "and I want you to, for she's so sweet and little and cuddly, you know. You could n't call High Price cuddly; could you?" "It is n't a term I should apply to her," agreed the Doctor, with the hint of a smile. "Miss Lucy would have liked Popover going to get along without Miss Lucy, 'specially at bedtime." "What does she do then?"
They had entered eleven systems, and made landings on eight planets. Three had been reasonably close to Terra-type. There had been Fafnir; conditions there would correspond to Terra during the Cretaceous Period, but any Cretaceous dinosaur would have been cute and cuddly to the things on Fafnir.
Carmena was different. Her rich bloom was more like the flowers of the desert growths the thorn-guarded yucca and needled cactus. There was nothing soft and cuddly about her. At the realization of where his thoughts were drifting, Lennon wrenched his mental focus back to Elsie. What concern could the fate of Carmena be to him? She belonged with her drunken, criminal father in Dead Hole.
But Tom saw that she was a very tall woman, as tall as her sister: but instead of being gnarly and horny, and scaly, and prickly, like her, she was the most nice, soft, fat, smooth, pussy, cuddly, delicious creature who ever nursed a baby; and she understood babies thoroughly, for she had plenty of her own, whole rows and regiments of them, and has to this day.
She thought of Fay, hectic and haggard, and again she seemed to hear her say in her tired voice, trying to explain Tony: "He's not a cuddly child; he's queer and reserved and silent, but if he once trusts you it's for always; he'll love you then and never change."
Walter had no time to answer; for clouds came rolling up and almost hid him from view. "These are my troublesome children," said the Old King. Some of the clouds were dear little cuddly babies, others looked like great white poodles, others like huge black bears or crocodiles.
The cry of this bird has been called eerie and disquieting, but I do not think it so, even in the loneliness of the question call. The satisfied one is as gentle and cuddly as one can find among birds. The pasture ghosts of still November nights are apt to be most portentous between the hours of midnight and dawn.
The young woman's face was transformed. It was bubbling with tenderness, with gay and happy laughter. Flinging her arms wide, she waited for them. With incoherent cries of delight they flung themselves upon her. Her arms enveloped all three as she stooped for their hugs and kisses. The two oldest were girls. The youngest was a fat, cuddly little boy with dimples in his soft cheeks.
She was clasped in the arms dear, cuddly arms! of her friend. What laughter, tears, and chatter there were! "But we must go home," said Miss Drayton, presently. "Pat will be there now. We'll come back to see your cousin." As they entered the hall, they heard from above the click-click of dumb-bells. Miss Drayton put her finger on Anne's lips, and they tiptoed into the cozy sitting-room.
