“Grandma Aggie stretched out her arms and wrapped them both up in a big hug.”

“She looked as if she would be a plucky, tireless sportswoman; yet she had a wistful, tender huggableness that a girl ought not to lose, however well she plays tennis.”

“As for hugging, I'm a shameless hugaholic. Thankfully, I'm acquainted with a large number of other hugaholics, male and female.”

“This isn't to say that many of the nutrition rules that apply to sofa huggers don't apply to, say, marathon runners.”

“My friends wore hip huggers and bell-bottoms which I staunchly refused to even consider.”

“I'd pick out those I thought would be the exuberant huggers, the proper handshakers or the ones who never touch at all.”
