A young man, with pale and haggard face, swaggers past and goes in, and, as he enters the door, one bystander nudges another and remarks: "Pentuere is going to have a good day again; he will come to a bad end, that young man." By-and-by the door opens again, and Pentuere comes out staggering.
If he could have helped it, he would have kept silence till Kinraid spoke first; but he could no longer endure the sailors' nudges, and winks, and jests among themselves. 'Tell Sylvia, said Kinraid 'There's a smart name for a sweetheart, exclaimed one of the men; but Kinraid went straight on, 'What yo've seen; how I've been pressed by this cursed gang. 'Civil words, messmate, if you please.
Instantly his face flamed and he glanced over furiously at the dentist, who, catching his eye, began again to mutter behind his mustache. "Well, say," began Mrs. Ryer, with some hesitation, looking to Ryer for approval, "why can't Marcus come along with us?" "Why, of course," exclaimed Mrs. Heise, disregarding her husband's vigorous nudges.
It wandered to the foreign city, to the gaunt pauper hospital there, to a little low bed where lay an old dying friendless man, tossing and moaning for the laggard death to give him rest. He saw nothing of what went on before him; he felt none of the merry boy's nudges at his side; he even forgot Roger and Maxfield. The performance was over at last. "Well, that was a jolly spree!

"A simple but highly ingenious explanation," commented the coroner approvingly, and the jurymen exchanged admiring nods and nudges.
They strolled about the field before the house, basked in groups in the sunshine, or lay in the shade under the hedges, where hints of future marriages were given to many a pretty girl, and to nudges and pinches were returned small screams suggestive of additional assault and inviting denials of "Indeed I won't," and that crowning provocative to riotous conduct, "Behave yourself."
They nudged each other every moment eloquent nudges and easily understood, for they simply meant "Oh, but ain't you glad NOW we're here!" Joe's knife struck upon something. "Hello!" said he. "What is it?" said his comrade. "Half-rotten plank no, it's a box, I believe. Here bear a hand and we'll see what it's here for. Never mind, I've broke a hole." He reached his hand in and drew it out
If you want to see the bad side of obscurity, look at Browning. The idea is often a very simple one when you get at it; it's only obscure because it is conveyed by hints and jerks and nudges. In Pickwick, for instance, one does not read Jingle's remarks for the underlying thought only for the pleasure of seeing how he leaps from stepping-stone to stepping-stone.
A good-looking young fellow, who had been staring at the fire all evening, moved uneasily in his lounging chair. Several quick glances were sent to where he sat moodily apart from the others, and then surreptitious winks and nudges were exchanged. "Joe is as crazy in love with her as ever, poor devil," whispered Rolfe.
She still overdresses, and makes eyes, and she nudges those who sit next her at table, but she is good-natured, says whatever comes into her head, and has a strong sense of humor.
