   • 1874, Pye Henry Chavasse, Counsel to a Mother on the Care and Rearing of her Children‎^[1], 3rd edition, J.&A. Churchill, →OCLC, page 197:

     Delicacies are thrown away upon a growing youth; they are quite out of place; his appetite does not require pampering, and cading, and coaxing; moreover, a youth who is made to think a great deal of his stomach is sure to grow up an epicure!

   • [1881, Pye Henry Chavasse, The Mental Culture and Training of Children‎^[2], Lindsay & Blakiston, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 118:

     Besides, the more luxury a child has, the more he will require—wants beget wants; until, at length, he will become a poor, wretched, artificial imbecile, fit only to be caded and cottoned up in warm enervating rooms; but totally unfit to be buffeted about—as is good for him—in this rough world of ours.]

   • 1926, Dorothy Rogers, “Miss Podbury's Adventure”, in The Windsor Magazine, volume 63, →OCLC, page 222:

     "He's neither more nor less interesting than any other man, I suppose," replied Miss Podbury drily. "They're all alike, as far as I can see. I can't think what women find in them to make such a fuss about, cading them up and spoiling them in the way they do!"

   • [1911, David Herbert Lawrence, The White Peacock‎^[3], Heinemann, page 142:

     He's a spoiled boy – I believe he keeps a little bit ill so that we can cade him.]
