Mark Twain,
Tom Sawyer, Detective — CHAPTER VII. A NIGHT'S VIGIL
(1896)
“ Said Benny appeared to know just when to try to soothe him and when to leave him alone.So he kept on tramping up and down the floor and muttering, till by and by he begun to look pretty tired; then Benny she went and snuggled up to his side and put one hand in his and one arm around his waist and walked with him; and he smiled down on her, and reached down and kissed her; and so, little by little the trouble went out of his face and she persuaded him off to his room. They had very petting ways together, and it was uncommon pretty to see. ”
