protect

Miss Wade, who had released her hold, laid her hand protectingly on the girl's neck for a moment, and then said, looking round with her former smile and speaking exactly in her former tone, 'Gentlemen!

To complete it, she seated herself in a chair by the side of the little chair, and protectingly drew under her arm the spare hand that crept up to her.

The other hand was locked in that of her husband, who held his other arm thrown round her protectingly. After a pause in which she was evidently ordering her thoughts, she began.

By her side stood Rosen Blumen [Flora's daughter], holding in one hand a gilded pole surmounted by a liberty-cap, while her other hand rested protectingly on the head of Tutee's [son] Benny, who was kneeling and looking upward in thanksgiving.

Like Cecilia, her knees are bent, her head is thrust backward, and a male figure hovers protectingly over her; indeed, the parallels between the two versions are remarkable--with the exception of the missing keyboard in the doppelganger work.
