He stepped between her and the stairway. "Cartie! You did make me jump!" Honor smiled at him; she was so cozily at peace for the moment that she had an increased tenderness for their frail friend. "It was so still in the hotel it might be the 'night before Christmas, 'not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. You'd better go to bed," she added, maternally. "You look pale and tired."
The lady members of an American family from Boston treated me quite maternally; the wife suggested almost at once, in the railway-carriage, that I should give her when we reached the hotel whatever linen or clothes I had that wanted repairs; she would be very pleased to mend them for me.
Consequently, for a personal indulgence, she mused; she caressed maternally the object of her musing; of necessity, she excluded Nesta; but in tenderness she gave Dartrey a fair one to love him. The scene was waved away. That one so loving him, partly worthy of him, ready to traverse the world now beside him who could it be other than she who knew and prized his worth? Foolish!
Villemot and La Sauvage completed the circle which he had traced about Pons' heir. There is no sorrow that sleep cannot overcome. Towards the end of the day La Sauvage, coming in, found Schmucke stretched asleep at the bed-foot. She carried him off, put him to bed, tucked him in maternally, and till the morning Schmucke slept.
Peagrim maternally. "Poor boy! I don't wonder, after all the nervousness and excitement . . . You sit quite still and rest. I will be back in a moment."

They needed to live near the coast in agreeable contact with the dark and ponderous monster which had rocked them so maternally when it might just as easily have dashed them to pieces. The only one who protested was Labarta.
Half an hour afterward, Fleur-de-Marie, who had not yet recovered her senses, was taken to the physician's house, placed in a warm bed, and maternally watched by the gardener's wife, assisted by La Louve. The doctor promised Saint Remy, who was more and more interested in La Goualeuse, to return the same evening to visit her.
