I do not mean to imply that upon the present occasion there was any profuse weeping; but they got into a sort of caressive and altogether childish frame of mind-a condition very unusual with either mother or daughter.
"Barren Honour: A Novel"
George A. Lawrence
So sweet you are, with your tinted cheeks and your small caressive hands, What if I carried you home with me, where our Golden Temple stands?
"India's Love Lyrics"
Adela Florence Cory Nicolson (AKA Laurence Hope), et al.
Fine woven silk, from the further East, should conceal your beauty, Clinging around you in amorous folds; caressive, silken, Beautiful long-lashed, sweet-voiced Persian boys should, kneeling, serve you, And the floor beneath your sandalled feet should be smooth and golden, Had I the power.
