Inside, the woman had held the girl at the man's command.

"How are you going to hold a gun, a flashlight, and the girl at the same time?"

Holding the girl on one hip, she reached a hand out to the child.

He let them go without a fight, content just to hold the girl.

I rode just behind her holding the little girl with my right arm.

It was the man who had held the blind girl.

Then the old woman came out of the water, holding the girl, now tall and slender, by the hand.

She had never tried it before, but holding the little girl seemed meaningful.

She tried very hard to hold the young girl down.

She stood there with the baby at her breast, holding the girl by the hand.
