'It must be a fight he 's having with a flea, said the landlady. 'Oh! pray heaven, it is a flea.
"Do come, Uncle Henry," she whispered. "I'm cold." That statement started the fuming giant at once. Nan's sensitiveness to a rude quarrel did not impress the man; but her sensitiveness to the weather shocked him immediately. "My goodness, girl! We'll go right up to the hotel," he said, kindly. "Any of you fellows seen Rafe or Tom in town this morning with the sled and roans?"
Burton stood fuming with indignation at the sight of the stream of nonentities who passed in without question, but Burton cried, "Wait a moment, my darling. I've come to see the Emperor, and see the Emperor I will." So he sent in his card and a message. "What!" cried the Emperor, "a man like Burton excluded. Bring him to me at once."
"That must not be! That must not be!" muttered the Captain, as he paced the quarter-deck, fretting and fuming under the hot sun of the tropics. "Mr Schank, we must not let her go." "No, sir," said the First-Lieutenant, "that would never do." "We must take her with the boats if we cannot overtake her with the ship," said the Captain, with one of his quiet laughs.
My husband must have been fuming at my apparent indifference, and I felt as if I could see him looking at me, passionate and proud. "Between the lot of you I think you've done me a great injustice.

I'll have your depot rung up, and you'll be in jail in a couple of hours. I know a deserter when I see him. Bring him along, Wilson. You know what to do if he tries to bolt. I had a momentary thought of breaking away, but decided that the odds were too much against me. Fuming with impatience, I followed the A.P.M. to his office on the first floor in a side street.
Without doubt he had him covered with his revolver. Fuming with impotent rage, the Italian growled: "Well, you're the boss. It's up to you." As he struggled to his feet he made up his mind to get square with the islander. Again resuming his oars, he rowed steadily until Bandrist gave the order to start the motor. The Fuor d'Italia leaped forward and the cool sea air fanned Mascola's flaming face.
They declined to partake. Garth was fuming. "Let's get out," he whispered. "Just a minute," Natalie begged, with bright eyes. "Never mind their manners. It's all so strange and different!" Presently the preparations for retiring, which their arrival had probably interrupted, were resumed.
And there the words of the fortune-teller came true, for fretting and fuming in an endeavour to unseat his sayis, who rode him native-wise, without his feet in the stirrups, rearing and backing at the sound of the engine throbbing in the gloom, was the coal-black stallion of Unayza. Damaris did not cast a look at the Obelisk.
As Whately stood fuming where his cousin had left him, Perkins approached for the first time since they had parted in anger the night before. "I reck'n Miss Baron's gone over ter the inemy," remarked the overseer. "What do you mean?" "Look yere, Leftenant, what's the use o' you bein' so gunpowdery with me? What's the use, I say? I mout be of some use ter you ef you wuz civil."
