If she won't come in with a little begging, make a big fuss, cry and plead for all you're worth. There you are, all ready. Remember, you get a new coat if you bring her in here." The speaker opened the door and almost shoved the pale-faced, trembling child out upon her strange mission. It was snowing.
You and I may be thinking of Jock as a hero, but that is not his idea about himself. He is just a Tommy, home on leave from France one of a hundred thousand, maybe. And if he thought at all about the way his home folk greeted him it would be just so that he could not expect them to be making a fuss about one soldier out of so many.
To think that he, Prulliere, the idol of the public, should play a part of only two hundred lines! "Why not make me bring in letters on a tray?" he continued bitterly. "Come, come, Prulliere, behave decently," said Bordenave, who was anxious to treat him tenderly because of his influence over the boxes. "Don't begin making a fuss. We'll find some points. Eh, Fauchery, you'll add some points?
"I'll take," said John, "the key which the lady has just handed you. And if the treasure is at all commensurate with the fuss you have been making about it, we'll let bygones be bygones."
Why should any one want to know about the origin of fire worship?" David didn't know, but thought it a shame she had to fuss with long-haired Dutchmen. "It's so deadly dull," she went on in the same plaintive voice. "Oh, David, you don't know what a rescuer you are, taking me away from this. I'll be so happy when we're in our own little home and I'll be dependent again."

With him he brought three green watering-pots. "You must do some more work, yourselves," he told them as he handed each one of the shiny green cans.
Customers who came into the store, and were waited upon by the clerk, were astonished at the conversation which was going on between the two men. But McDuff paid no heed to them. He wanted to get clear of this troublesome countryman. He little realised that a few boxes of berries less would cause such a fuss. He had done the same thing before, and had bluffed out of paying.
"Whut is all this fuss about, anyhow?" questioned the marshal, evidently somewhat aggrieved. "I wus just eatin' dinner when a feller stuck his head in an' yelled ye'd killed somebody over at the Occidental." Hampton turned his face gravely toward him. "Buck, I don't know whether you'll believe me or not, but I guess you never heard me tell a lie, or knew of my trying to dodge out of a bad scrape.
He is, or, was, a very rude person, and always seemed to take great delight in "asserting himself" in such a way as to produce as much general annoyance and discomfort as possible. During the war he had a brilliant career. He used to come over and express great surprise at the silly fuss made about the Constitution and secession, and profess an entire inability to discover what it was "all about."
But I'll go and see. Only if I can't, I can't, and it's no use your making a silly fuss."
