You know what he told me to tell her about her not comin' here?" Asaph fidgeted with the wet cap. "Aw, that ain't nothin'," he stammered. "That is, I hope it ain't. I did say somethin' to him that but Phoebe understands. She's a smart woman."
"Poor Martha," he sighed, as he turned away, "she would be fidgeted to death if she knew how wet I am. I guess I had better drink some boneset when I get home. I believe that is what she used to give me."
Isabel fidgeted in her chair. "If they're very rich, I should think they'd have enough money to enable them to move into a better house." "Oh," replied Madame, carefully cutting her thread on the underside, "I wasn't thinking of money when I spoke. I don't know anything about their private affairs.
Kew fidgeted a moment, and then took the slate and wrote: "I am very much afraid that all leave from abroad has been stopped this week." "Yes, I know," said the mother, "I have been unhappy about that for some days. But it doesn't make any difference to Murray now. You see, I heard last night that he was killed on Tuesday. That's why I know he will come, and I shall be waiting here.
"I see you mean to." "Well, if you can do the proper thing and look nice at the same time " She broke off and fidgeted. "I don't mind his dying if he does it far away, but, oh, wouldn't it be horrible if he did it here? Ill people make me sick." "Why don't you go and do something yourself? Go and amuse Uncle Alfred."

There was a charm in his wide, "drawn," convalescent smile, in the way his fine fingers had he anything like fine fingers of old? played, and just fidgeted, over the prompt and perhaps a trifle incoherent offer of cigars, cordials, ashtrays, over the question of his visitor's hat, stick, fur coat, general best accommodation and ease; and how the deuce, accordingly, had charm, for coming out so on top, Mark wondered, "squared" the other old elements?
She leaned over, looking down at him and at his horse, which fidgeted and arched his white neck and dropped foam from his black flexible lips. "No," she answered after a moment of thought. "I must speak the truth, you know." "To me, always." "I feel that you were right, that my summons has not yet come to me." "And when it comes?"
Things away from home often look better than they are. You know what your Hans Andersen book says, Carl, about the Swedes liking to buy Danish bread and the Danes liking to buy Swedish bread, because people always think the bread of another country is better than their own. Anyway, I've heard so much about the river farms, I won't be satisfied till I've seen for myself." Lou fidgeted. "Look out!
He fidgeted, avoided my eyes, and then rapidly, almost surreptitiously crossed himself. "No," he replied. "I know nothing. Some things I have heard but they tell many tales on these seas." He started for the door. Before he reached it he turned. "But this I do know," he half whispered, "I am damned glad there is no full moon tonight." And passed out, leaving me staring after him in amazement.
"Do you find your fallow field easily worked?" Knowles fidgeted uneasily. "No. Fact is, I'm beginning to think there's a good deal of an obstacle in blood.
