Opposite her, on the far side of the water, the beautiful Savoy range sloped upwards from the shore, brooding maternally above the villages which fringed the borders of the lake, while to her left the snow-capped Dents du Midi, almost dazzling in the brilliant sunshine, guarded the gracious valley of the Rhone. It was very calm, and peaceful, and sunshiny.
Her eyes were soft and clear, and appealed maternally to his reason. "Because everything's different. You just think a bit," she answered. He stared at her a few seconds, and then understanding of her dawned upon him. He made a human young dash at her, and caught her arm. "What!" he cried out.

The last crown to the chorus of applause, and insult to the circle of applauders, was launched with all the piquance of inimitable canteen-slang and camp-assurance, from a speaker who had perched astride on a broken fragment of wall, with her barrel of wine set up on end on the stones in front of her, and her six soldiers, her gros bebees, as she was given maternally to calling them, lounging at their ease on the arid, dusty turf below.
While Marie, with dread in her heart, waited for the fichu to be moved aside, Madame de Jonquiere, having cut some bread into small pieces, inquired maternally: "Are they small enough?

And before departing the Queen had maternally kissed Celia, whilst the King shook hands with Attilio honours instinct with a charming good nature which made the members of both families quite radiant.
'And is this your second son, Dame Rishworth? 'No; that bees our fourth, said the old woman, maternally arranging the urchin's thin, white, flat, straight, unmanageable hair.

Since Jem Eustace got on so, I don't know what the matter is with the lads; but I think we shall have none of them in the fields soon.
The Queen of Spain, whose pious tenderness is maternally anxious for thy full contentment with thy lot, has sent hither a holy friar, whom she deems more soothing in his counsels than our brother Tomas, whose ardent zeal often terrifies those whom his honest spirit only desires to purify and guide. I will leave him with thee. May the saints bless his ministry!"
Why, he he, the father, had not even been presented! And the little man's rage was redoubled by the attitude of Madame Chebe, smiling maternally upon one and all in her scarab-hued dress. Furthermore, there were at this, as at almost all wedding-parties, two distinct currents which came together but without mingling. One of the two soon gave place to the other.
"I do not object to the change," said Zoe, smiling maternally on him; "but you will be good enough to imitate me in one thing you will always be polite to Lord Uxmoor." "He makes it rather hard."
