"Granny will eat from your hand," exclaimed Uncle Daniel, "You see, she is just like granite-gray stone, but we call her Granny for short." The Plymouth Rock hen came up to Sandy, and much to his delight ate the corn out of his little white hand. "Oh, she's a pretty chicken!" he said, stroking Granny as he would a kitten.
"And you suit me, Henry," stroking his hand. This he withdrew. It was apt to smell of fish and he thought that once or twice he had noticed her draw back from it, and, anyway, he was exceedingly delicate about the cling of the rottenly pungent fish odor of his workadays. Not that he minded personally.
"Wonderful man!" said Ann Veronica, reassured, and stroking his cheek with her finger. Capes made a quick movement as if to bite that aggressive digit, but it withdrew to Ann Veronica's side. "I was really interested in his stuff. I WAS talking to him before I saw his name on the card beside the row of microscopes. Then, naturally, I went on talking.
Just then Blanche, who had not been visible before, emerged from under the table, and as Melville reseated himself by the fireside, sprang into his lap, rubbing herself against his breast. The expression of his face changed; he uttered some low exclamation. Mrs. Cameron took the creature from his lap, stroking it quietly, carried it across the room, and put it outside the door.
She did not know why she now shrank away from him, far more frightened than before. "I'm about everything else you might mention, but I'm not crazy. And you take my word for it and get out while you still can ... if you still can?"

"And have ye really seen the whales, my boy?" continued my mother, stroking my face with her old hand. "Seen them? aye, and killed them too many of them." "You've been in danger, my son," said my mother earnestly, "but the Lord has preserved you safe through it all."
They were all made to go out of the farm yard, and ride away before him, and then the two princes halted where the poor children, scarce knowing that their home was burning behind them, were gathered round their father, Patience stroking his face, Steadfast chafing his hands, Jephthah standing with folded arms, and a terrible look of grief and wrath on his face.
What was said in that historic interview with a future Sovereign of England, far from his royal palaces, on Democratic sawdust, with an American Beauty across a board counter, was immediately recorded by the Colonel, together with an exact description of his Royal Highness's blue coat, and light, flowing pantaloons, and yellow waist-coat, and colored kids; even the Prince's habit of stroking his mustache did not escape the watchful eye.
Oh, it was hard, and I was only a child, but I sat upright on his knee and tried to dry my tears. "I will try," I said, but the sobs would come in spite of me. "That is right," and he was stroking my hair in that old familiar, tender way. "Your father is very ill, Tom." Well, if that was all, I could bear it, certainly. "But he will get well," I said.
