The stamp of a horse in a stall, the low, throaty notes of a cow nuzzling her calf, the far-off evening wail of a coyote all seemed strangely near at hand, borne by some telephonic quality in the atmosphere. "How still it is!" said Clyde. "One can almost feel the darkness descending." "Electrical storm coming, I fancy. No such luck as rain."
The door of the cottage opened and out stepped a little old man. I could see his figure against the light within: and Mustapha, who was such a devil with all of us, started whinnying and nuzzling the old fellow, who seemed just as delighted to see him. "'How far am I from the main road to Galway? I asked; for I knew I'd be all right once I got on to that. I had quite lost my bearings.
At first the pour of gas was terrific, but by degrees it abated, and at the end of half an hour Kitchell could keep back no longer. "Come on!" he cried, catching up an axe; "rot the difference." All the plundering instincts of the man were aroused and clamoring. He had become a very wolf within scent of its prey a veritable hyena nuzzling about its carrion.
Steady, my beauties!" and as one the beautiful animals came to a standstill their hoofs stirring up a cloud of dust, so suddenly did they brace their forefeet.

Help, all good fellows! See you not that I am a dead man? They are nuzzling already at my toes! He hath hold of my leg! My right thigh is bitten clean off! Oh that I were preaching in Hartland pulpit!
Wauverley, ye never kend that a' the eggs that were sae weel roasted at supper in the Ha'-house were aye turned by our Davie? there's no the like o' him ony gate for powtering wi' his fingers amang the het peat-ashes and roasting eggs. Davie all this while lay with his nose almost in the fire, nuzzling among the ashes, kicking his heels, mumbling to himself, turning the eggs as they lay in the hot embers, as if to confute the proverb, that 'there goes reason to roasting of eggs, and justify the eulogium which poor Janet poured out upon
Sam rose and joined his friend in the doorway opening upon the two stalls. Whitey had preempted the nearer, and was hungrily nuzzling the old frayed hollows in the manger. "Maybe a hunderd dollars or sumpthing?" Sam asked in a low voice. Penrod maintained his composure and repeated the newfound expression that had sounded well to him a moment before.
Then he threw himself down to rest before preparing his midday meal. In a moment slumber overwhelmed him. He was wakened at dusk by the soft nuzzling of the pony against his shoulder. "By Jove!" he exclaimed softly. "What a sleep!" He jumped to his feet and began to gather wood for his fire.
The bells, too, were ceasing five or six only tinkled on. She leaned forward over the balustrade to make sure that the children were gone. As she did so, the sound of a whimper caught her ear. She looked down, and spoke soothingly to a small dog, an Italian greyhound, a pet of Mr. Langton's, that had run to her trembling, and was nuzzling against her skirt for shelter.
It was some time before he noticed something soft touching and pressing against him from behind. He turned round and saw a work-girl in a little black hat with blue ribbons. She was young and pretty enough, but his mind was fixed on the awe-inspiring and superhuman graces of an Electra or a Lady Macbeth. She went on nuzzling against his back till he looked round again.
