As they squat in their form in the gray brush or clods, they are soft gray on their ears, head, back, and sides; they match the ground and cannot be seen until close at hand they are protectively colored. But the moment it is clear to the Jack that the approaching foe will find him, he jumps up and dashes away.
"Isn't it too bad, Winters," said Vidac, "that we just missed supper?" "What do you want?" demanded Logan belligerently. He stepped in front of Jane protectively. "Now don't get excited Mr. Logan," said Vidac, his voice smooth. "We just want you to sign a little paper, that's all." "What kind of paper?" asked Logan. "Say," said Winters suddenly, "ain't you got a kid?"
John's, for, if he be of any pretensions at all, he has an ancestor buried there, with a queer, crooked slab at his head, or else sprawling protectively over the grave, on which all the main facts of his history are recorded. For the most part no great art or skill was lavished on those old tombstones.
One can usually trace back to some element of his nature, physical or moral, the misfortunes that befall an individual; even those which we call accidents, as Galton claimed, are often due to some inherent defect of attention which makes us fail to respond protectively at the right moment.
Of course, many of these fall to the ground and take root. If the protective coloration of the nuts, then, were effective, it would defeat a purpose which every tree and shrub and plant has at heart, namely, the scattering of its seed.

And in winter, with the heavy carpets down, and the thick curtains, the very polished floors, so cool in summer, seem expressly designed to glimmer warmly with candle and fire-light; and the books seem to lean forward protectively and reassert themselves, and the low beamed ceilings to shelter and safeguard the interior comfort. The center of gravity is changed almost imperceptibly.
Meanwhile she shook her young braids at Johnny Byrd. "But you are so sudden! I think he is a flirter, yes?" she said gayly to Mr. Blair who smiled back appreciatively and a trifle protectively at her. But Bobby Martin drawled, "Oh, no, he's not. He's too careful," and more laughter ensued.
As she stood before the mirror to put on her hat, her eyes, gazing heavily, met her heavy eyes in the mirror. She glanced away swiftly as if she had been burned. 'How stupid I look! she said to herself. 'And Siegmund, how is he, I wonder? She wondered how Siegmund had passed the day, what had happened to him, how he felt, how he looked. She thought of him protectively.
Birkin was white and abstract, unnatural, Gerald was smiling with a constant bright, amused, cold light in his eyes, leaning a little protectively towards the Pussum, who was very handsome, and soft, unfolded like some red lotus in dreadful flowering nakedness, vainglorious now, flushed with wine and with the excitement of men. Halliday looked foolish.
