"I'll take the clean plate," he said, "and and more hoe-cakes." When the farmer returned, and they rode back to the buggy, Annette developed a sudden fever of impatience. She fidgeted about while the men patched up the harness, and delayed their progress by her fire of questions. After they started, Sandy leaned back in the buggy, lost in the fog of his unhappiness.
The hand upon her lap moved restlessly and she turned her head slowly towards the window as if in search of suitable words. But she did not speak or rise, though she gradually fidgeted round in her chair till she faced the writing-table; and so sat, with her head leaning on her hand, in silent consideration.
'Why should you cry? asked Miss La Creevy, smiling. 'Because I'm happy too, said Tim. 'We are both happy, and I should like to do as you do. Surely, there never was a man who fidgeted as Tim must have done then; for he knocked the window again almost in the same place and Miss La Creevy said she was sure he'd break it. 'I knew, said Tim, 'that you would be pleased with this scene.
Driving through the fresh air, however where at first I muttered and fidgeted about so much that Kuzma, my coachman, asked me what was the matter I soon found this feeling pass away, and began to meditate quietly concerning my love for Sonetchka and her relations with her mother, which had appeared to me rather strange.
Then Angelica began to make bread pills. She set them in a row, and flipped them off the table one by one deliberately when the servants left the room. This amusement ended, she pulled flowers to pieces between the courses, and hummed a little tune. Mr. Kilroy fidgeted.

She remembered that she had compared the ball at the house of her aunt, Mrs. Birket, unfavourably with those at other houses at which she had danced, and blushed and fidgeted with her fingers when she thought of this.
But the elderly gentleman from the Highlands, to whom she thus unkindly referred, went on humming and hawing as before, while the House lumbered or fidgeted, hats well over noses and legs stretched to infinity. "Oh, there is Arthur!" cried Marcia, having just discovered her brother among the shadows under the gallery to the left. "I couldn't make him out before. One can see he's on wires."

His anxiety was still so great, and led him to watch me in a manner which fidgeted me so much, that I think the doctor was only too glad that the place should be sufficiently near to induce him to leave me to the care of Nurse Bundle. We went by coach to Oakford.
Angela fidgeted, as if she didn't like the style of the conversation. 'You know, he continued, 'there may be rules that you may not see the use of, but that must be obeyed for all that.
