In Sally's eyes was the story of the past three years: of love and temptation and struggle, of watchfulness and yearning and anxiety, of determination and an inviolable hope. Her eyes had a deeper look than that in Jim's. Now, as she gazed at him, the maternal spirit rose up from the great well of protectiveness in her and engulfed both husband and child.
He had always regarded Julia as something between an ally and a tolerant go-between; and since she had wrung from him the confession of his difficulties, and helped in the arrangement of them, his feeling for her had leaned more and more towards the former. He had even come to feel a certain protectiveness in her presence, which made him really sorry she was going. Johnny Gillat was sorrier still.

He yawned, "Trouble with Cherry is, she hasn't enough to do!" he finished, sapiently. "I'm a poor person with whom to discuss Cherry!" Alix hinted, with an unsmiling nod for good-night.

'Then why have you come back at ALL? cried Halliday, his voice rising to a kind of squeal. 'She comes as she likes, said Birkin. 'Are you going to sit down, or are you not? 'No, I won't sit down with Pussum, cried Halliday. 'I won't hurt you, you needn't be afraid, she said to him, very curtly, and yet with a sort of protectiveness towards him, in her voice.
Tradition endowed him with all the attributes of all saints belonging to childhood: the protectiveness of Saint Christopher, the tenderness of Saint Anthony, the loving comradeship of Saint Valentine, and the joyfulness of Saint Nicholas. But that was more than fifty years ago; and institutions can change marvelously in half a century. Time had buried more than the Founder.

"Eh, Jenny?" said Pa, staring back at her. "Ain't you gone out? Is it Emmy that's gone out?
"I've never been in a hansom before," said Marguerite timidly because the situation was so dismaying in its enchantment. He, from the height of two years of hansom-using, was touched, delighted, even impressed. The staggering fact increased her virginal charm and its protectiveness. He thought upon the simplicity of her existence. Of course she had never been in a hansom!
Janet was immeasurably the stronger of the two, but Eda possessed the masculine trait of protectiveness, the universe never bothered her, she was one of those persons called fortunate to whom the orthodox Christian virtues come as naturally as sun or air.
