Varied and unique remarks accompanied the scrutiny. Pretty soon they began to nudge each other and snicker, and I saw more than one of them in consultation with the rangers. I felt in my bones that mischief was brewing. The usual riding and roping and tying stunts were pulled off, and in the afternoon the Indians were challenged to race horses with the white boys.
In the first place, it ain't easy to make one; your lids are so everlastin' heavy; and who the plague can see you if you do? and if he did notice it, he would only think you were tryin' to protect your peepers, that's all. Well, a wink is no better nor a nod to a blind horse; so I gave him a nudge instead.
Elsie Marley half smiled. "Oh, no," she declared. But the other was determined not to take any undue advantage. "Now listen," she said; "if after you see Uncle John you don't fancy him, just say the word or nudge me or wink and I'll swap back without a word. I'll simply step up and say, 'Oh, Uncle John, you've kissed the wrong girl! though, of course, he may be too dignified to kiss at a train.
Every detail pressed itself on his notice with the familiarity of an accidental confidant: whichever way he turned, he felt the nudge of a transient intimacy... The one fixed point in his immediate future was that his leave was over and that he must be back at his post in London the next morning.

On an impulse he gave her a soft nudge with his shoulder and waved his head suggestively toward the hall, making it clear that he desired her to leave her partner and accompany him. "By-by, Rus," she called to her partner. "This old camel's got me. Where we going, Prince of Beasts?"
He imagined that he could see the favourite and Althea nudge each other with sneering gestures, and believed that their sole purpose was to render him he knew not for what object the obedient tool of the Queen, who had probably also succeeded in persuading his usually cautious uncle to render her great services.
Every night after the rest of the family were asleep she set a candle beside her bed and studied characters diligently. Whenever Pastor Stone woke up for a moment, or turned over in bed, he would receive a gentle nudge and Mother Stone would delightedly exclaim, "Oh, father, won't you please tell me what this character is?"
When he is in one of these positions, his mother, who is a worthy, affectionate old soul, will give you a nudge to bespeak your attention without disturbing the abstracted one, and whisper with a shake of the head, that John’s imagination is at some extraordinary work or other, you may take her word for it.
