Fisbee, can you step here a second?" "Yes, indeed!" was Fisbee's reply; and he fled guiltily into the "store-room," and Parker closed the door. They stood knee-deep in the clutter and lumber, facing each other abjectly. "Well, we're both done, anyway, Mr. Fisbee," remarked the foreman. "Indubitably, Mr. Parker," the old man answered; "it is too true."
The grandeur that was Rome as visioned from the Cow Field becomes in the mind's eye the kaleidoscopic clutter which the resurrection of the Forum Romanum must more and more realize.
One evening on his free day when the cello would not play for him anything other than just notes and Gabriele was nothing but words of clutter like the dirty socks he seemed to strew across his room, he tried to avoid the callings of desperation and the wish to escape his lonely malaise by changing a few florescent light bulbs that had been flickering in the convenience store.
Not the man who had tramped impatiently back and forth across Frederica's drawing-room, expounding his ideals of space and leisure open, wind-swept space, for the free range of a hard, clean, athletic mind. Not the man who despised the clutter of expensive junk "so many things to have and to do, that one couldn't turn around for fear of breaking something."
I shall use this invention, not for commercial exploitation, but for the good of humanity. For that purpose I want help willing agents, obedient hands; and I am strong enough to compel the service. I am taking the shortest way, though I am in no hurry. I shall not clutter my speed with haste. "The incentive of material gain developed man from the savage to the semi-barbarian he is to-day.

A mahogany desk was almost indistinguishable under a clutter of doll's furniture. The sunset glow pouring through the window disclosed rolls of dust on the faded red Brussels carpet. Lydia disgorged the contents of her blouse upon the desk, then followed little Patience into the next room. This was larger than the first and was evidently the dining-room and sitting-room.
My father drew the water from a well three furlongs deep, and skinned his hands and broke his back a-pulling at the rope, and methods that my father used will do for me, I hope! Don't talk of your electric light; a candle's all I need; my father always went to bed when 'twas too dark to read; I want no books or magazines to clutter up my shack; my father never read a thing but Johnson's almanac.
Morse, evidently trying to regain his equilibrium, plunged wildly at him and sent him ploughing into the willows. The Montanan landed heavily on top, pinned him down, and smothered him. The scarlet coat was a center of barrel hoops, bushes, staves, and wildly jerking arms and legs. Morse made heroic efforts to untangle himself from the clutter.
Who's talking out there so incessantly, mother?" "That's your uncle Aaron. He came over for Sunday-morning breakfast with your father. You should see the way he tracked up my hall with his wet shoes. I'm sending him right back home with your father. They should clutter up your aunt Gussie's house with their pinochle and ashes. I had 'em last Sunday.
