His weakness lasted only a moment, then recovering his self-control he handed Anita over to the affectionate bear hugs of an elder brother, and turned to his daughter's rescuers. "Madam," he said to Mrs. Irving, "if you will tell me to whom I am indebted for Anita's safe return, I will try to thank him or her or all of you as the case may be.
And between the boards that cover a door in the high wall, one may peek and catch a glimpse of hollyhocks in a row and roses running wild, trellises of green lattice and ghosts of beautiful ladies having afternoon tea. To one side of the mansion there is a formal garden that hugs up close to the ivy-covered walls of the house.
And then she runs over and slips her arm under Uncle Cal's neck and hugs him tight. "'Why, last night, dad, we heard her say, 'I played it ever so much. Honest I have been playing it. And it's such a splendid instrument, you don't know how I love it. Last night I played "Bonnie Dundee" and the "Anvil Polka" and the "Blue Danube" and lots of pieces.
With his right, very slowly, inch by inch lest anyone should suspect him of a gunplay, he drew out a heavy forty-five and laid it on the table with the belt of cartridges.

There ain't a cylinder that spins easier. Shoot?
No, Mistress Marcella, ye can tell yer father not tae go sendin' children beggin' for credit whiles he hugs his bar'l. The corn's here safe enough when he chooses to pay for't."

"And even if it doesn't, just think what fun we will have thinking about it," added Grace, philosophically, at which they all laughed. "Anyway you are a dear, Mollie, for having such lovely relatives," cried Betty gaily. "If I could only climb over this seat, I'd give you two great big hugs, one for each of them."
Maynard's appearance was usually a signal for a grand rush, followed by a series of bear hugs and a general scramble, but to-night, owing to festive attire, the Maynard quartette were a little more demure. "Look out for my hair-ribbons, King!" cried Midget, for without such warning, hair-ribbons usually felt first the effects of the good-natured scrimmage. And then Mrs.

He honours nothing with a more endeared observance, nor hugs ought with more intimacy, than antiquity, which he expresseth even in his clothes. I have known some love fish best that smelled of the pannier; and the like humour reigns in him, for he loves that apparel best that has a taste of the broker.
Of course they had guessed all sorts of things and he had teased them for quite a little while over it! Then, very quietly, he had said: "Do you think you would like to make a little trip to Washington?" Keineth had not been able to speak. Peggy, jumping from her chair, rushed at her father and threw both arms about his neck. "All of us?" she cried between hugs.
