Skirting the edge of the steep, presently the Settlement came into view far below, a hut or two along the river, hugging the base of the cliffs. The trail zigzagged gradually down, frequently doubling on itself; and whereas the eagle might have descended in a minute, it promised to be more like half an hour for them.
The child's impish words had struck the scales from Jude's eyes, and the blinding light made him shrink and suffer. "Him and her," the boy had whispered, hugging his bruised and dirty knees as he squatted by Jude's door; "him and her is sparking some." Then he laughed the freakish laugh of mischief.
Then Dodo made a rush for the Doctor's chair, and hugging him round the neck, cried, "Dear Uncle Roy, will you please let us stay in here a little while, so that we can learn what sort of animals birds are, and all about them?

Aglaya was kissing her mother's lips and cheeks and hands; they were hugging each other in the most ardent way. "There, look at her now Ivan Fedorovitch! Here she is all of her!

"If we get safe through this here place," said the boatswain, in a rough whisper to his anxious and attentive auditors, "I think as how I'll venture to answer for the craft. I can see daylight dancing upon the lake already. Ten minutes more and she will be there." Then turning to the man at the helm, "Keep her in the centre of the stream, Jim. Don't you see you're hugging the weather shore?"
Diddie and Dumps scrambled down from the gate-posts and ran along by the side of Prince to the house, where their mamma was waiting on the porch. And oh! such a joyful meeting! such hugging and kissing all around! Then the wagons came up, and the strong negro men began taking out the boxes and bundles and carrying them to the storeroom.
"You ought to give him one too," ses Mrs. Mitchell, pointing to George. George wiped 'is mouth on the back of his 'and, but Gerty pretended not to 'ear. "Fancy if you'd been drownded!" she ses, hugging Bob agin. "He was pretty near," ses George, shaking his 'ead. "I'm a pore swimmer, but I made up my mind either to save 'im or else go down to a watery grave myself."
