Poor William Wetherell, who was quite overwhelmed by the fact that the great Mr. Duncan had actually read his letters and liked them, could scarcely utter a sensible word. Almost before he realized what had happened he was following Mr. Duncan out of the Pelican House, when the storekeeper was mystified once more by a nudge and another wink from Mr. Bixby, conveying unbounded admiration.
The bowing was resumed, but this time Napoleon added to it a sidling movement, affectionate and affected, like the movement of a silly and eager thing, nestling up to someone, or giving someone a gentle and furtive nudge. Again the Father thought of that terrible, pale woman who had haunted churches. Several times he had come upon her waiting for him after evening services.
"An' jam!" said Timmie. They gave me a nudge to waken me. "Thanks, Davy," said they both. Then I fell asleep. Our folk slept a great deal at the Lodge. They seemed to want to have the winter pass without knowing more than they could help of the various pangs of it like the bears.
And following on the physical fear of Pain came the reverential fear of Power. 'His mother represented Power, Jack London says, 'and as he grew older he felt this power in the sharper admonition of her paw, while the reproving nudge of her nose gave place to the slash of her fangs.
But a sharp nudge from her companion sent her back again into cover, where she waited expectantly for another crushing retort from her protector. But, alas! it did not come.

The sermon was over, and the service proceeding as usual, when suddenly a burst of sobs distracted the congregation, and Robert Barnes, the bluffest and burliest farmer in the whole property, was observed to be wiping his eyes with a red cotton handkerchief. In vain did his scandalised wife nudge and reprove him; he sobbed on, and she grew alarmed. "Wasn't he well?" she asked.
My partner kept bantering me, when I pulled out a roll of greenbacks that made them open their eyes, saying: "I would not be one bit afraid to wager all that." The Englishman gave me a nudge and said: "Lad, don't you do it." My partner then said: "I haven't got one-half so much money, but I will bet you $500 I can pick up the baby ticket."
In the chief street of Portage la Drôme men would stop their trafficking and women nudge one another when she passed, and wherever she went she stirred interest, excited admiration, or aroused prejudice but the prejudice did not matter so long as her father, Joel Renton, lived.
"You have the reputation of knowing all the pretty girls in the state," whispered Mullaney, drawing Dodd's attention with a nudge. "Who is that up there in the gallery, front row, fifth from the aisle; blue feather, and so handsome she hurts my eyes?"
