Hints, at first dimly shadowed, that Matilda was not in spirits this morning; that Fanny, poor child, had a headache, directed especially at the culprit in question, grew gradually into those little motherly fondnesses in mamma, that, like the fascination of the rattlesnake, only lure on to ruin.
He bulked so rotund inside his overcoat and looked so short under the flat headgear that her first thought was how slight a disguise every year turned him into a good family Santa Claus; and she smiled back at him with the same gayeties and fondnesses of days gone by. But such a deeper pang pierced her that she turned away and walked hurriedly down the hill toward the evergreens.
Round his potato beds let him jealously retain a border of his finest pansies; and, depend upon it, when he gets into the fifties and the sixties he will be glad that, all through life, he remained true to the first fondnesses of youth. Not that he will have to wait for the fifties and the sixties.
In good company there is never such discourse between two, across the table, as takes place when you leave them alone. In good company the individuals merge their egotism into a social soul exactly co-extensive with the several consciousnesses there present. No partialities of friend to friend, no fondnesses of brother to sister, of wife to husband, are there pertinent, but quite otherwise.

She met my fondnesses with equal fondness. It seemed to give her particular pleasure that I should be thus fond.
Then as he buttoned the top button of his overcoat and pressed his bearded chin down over it to make it more comfortable under his short neck, with his other hand he gave a little pull at his hat the romantic country hat; and he peeped out from under the rustic brim at her, smiling with old gayeties and old fondnesses.
For which profession Heartfree expressed much gratitude to her, and, after indulging himself with some little fondnesses which we shall not relate, he delivered his children into the good woman's hands, and dismissed her. Being now alone, he sat some short time silent, and then burst forth into the following soliloquy: "What shall I do?
The first wail of the little creature stirs him, but in this emotion there is more astonishment than love. His affection is not yet born. His heart requires to reflect and to become accustomed to these fondnesses so new to him. There is an apprenticeship to be served to the business of a father. There is none to that of a mother.
