He fidgeted with his watch chain, colored and was evidently uneasy. "I guess " he hesitated "I guess that I haven't treated you as I ought." "I want to know! You guess that, hey? Why?" "Oh, you know why. I've been thinking since I went back to New Haven. I've had a chance to think.
"Thou wilt observe that I am not afraid of turning my back to thee. I have more faith in thine honour than thou hast in mine." The sailor flushed and fidgeted. "Thou didst deceive me under the guise of friendship," he muttered. "Pshaw, man! thou wert undone by thine own foolishness. Why didst chatter to a stranger about thy papers?
And when I noted that all were afraid of this man, and shrank and fidgeted in their seats when his eye smote theirs, my last poor ray of hope dissolved away and wholly disappeared.

Far from imitating the calm demeanor of Djalma, Rose-Pompon skipped into the box, moved the chairs about noisily, and fidgeted on her seat for some time, to display her fine dress; then, without being in the least intimidated by the presence of the brilliant assembly, she, with a little coquettish air, held her bouquet towards Djalma, that he might smell it, and appeared finally to establish herself on her seat.
