"I checked what I had through from Liverpool to the hotel," Mr. Coulson answered. "I can't stand being fussed around by all these porters, and having to go and take pot luck amongst a pile of other people's baggage. We'll just take one of these two-wheeled sardine tins that you people call hansoms, and get round to the hotel as quick as we can.
She was glad to hear Bernini's ring. She excused herself to admit the Italian. "A false alarm," she whispered. "Someone inquiring for Gregor. I thought it might be well for you to see him." "I'll work the radiator stuff." "Very well." Bernini went into the living room and fussed over the steam cock of the radiator. "Nothing the matter with it, miss. Just stuck."

Said he was trying to run a farm and go to college at the same time! Isn't it a scream? HORACE: We oughta make it more unpleasant for some of those jays. Gives the school a bad name.

They never got within a couple of hundred million years of each other. Oswald was strong for the earth's being exactly fifty-seven million years old. Trust him to have it down fine! And the old man hung out for four hundred million. They used to get all fussed up about this. They quoted authorities. One scientist had figured close and found it was fifty-six million years.
"Yes, sir!" and he scolded, and fretted, and fussed, and laid down the law so generally to all, not excepting the doctor, that at last it was decided to let the party go on. Then he lay back against the pillows quite exhausted, but with a beatific face. "I should think you would be tired, Joe," exclaimed Jasper, "you've bullied us so.
"Down in the meadow," said Philip, making one more effort at conciliation, "we can get some tigerlilies, and weave them in and make a beautiful wreath for your mother."

Traits that make a child disagreeable are apt to be perpetuated in the adult.
"He'd only smile in a superior manner," Lawanne declared. "You couldn't get Bland fussed up by any mere assertion. The only thing that would stir him deeply would be a direct assault on that vague abstraction which he calls his honor or on his property. Then he would very likely smite the wrongdoer with all the efficiency of outraged virtue."
