He always fussed when Jen wore even a V-necked summer gown on the street. "Oh, she wasn't playing for sympathy," went on Alderman Mooney in answer to the sneer. "She said she'd always paid her way and always expected to. Seems her husband left her without a cent when she was eighteen with a baby. She worked for four dollars a week in a cheap eating house. The two of 'em couldn't live on that.
Like the great automaton it was, it had scented the human beings just as the bull had scented them, "fussed" just as he had fussed, charged as he had charged, and died as he had died. And now from the camp rose a great outcry, "Nyama, nyama!
I'll wait for it until it rises and until you bake it. Then I'll eat it hot out of the oven." What was the old woman to say to that? She fussed and fidgeted and thought again what a foolish young girl that was to be hiding in the bread trough when there was a handsome young Prince in the room. "I don't know why that dough doesn't rise," she remarked at last.
"Then I can go away from Buyukderer just for those few weeks." "I " She paused; then went on: "I must tell you that you mustn't come to Buyukderer again this summer." "Then you won't go there?" "Of course I must go. I have the villa. I am going there next week." "If you go, then I shall go. But I'll leave when Jimmy comes, as you are so fussed about him."
Travelling by train fussed him a good deal, for he might not be able to get a corner seat, or somebody with a pipe or a baby might get into his carriage, or the porter might be rough with his luggage, so he always went in his car to some neighbouring watering-place where they knew him.
His voice had changed in tone, his look become most grave, there was something very like reverence in his face, and deprecating submission in his eyes. His fingers fussed with the rug that covered his knees. "God help the man that's afraid of his own wife!" remarked the Young Doctor to himself, not erroneously reading the expression of Crozier's face and the tone of his voice.
Wouldn't she give the old penny-pincher hell if she had him here? She would, indeed! Continuous muttering of a rugged character for half a mile of jog trot. Then again: "Cousin Egbert got all fussed up in his mind about the name and always called her Postle-nut. He don't seem to have a brain for such things. But she didn't mind. I give her credit for that.
Inca Caxas is, or was, my ancestor, and this manuscript" Don Pedro produced the same from his inner pocket "details the funeral ceremonies." "Very interesting; most interesting," fussed Braddock, stretching out his hand. "May I see it?" "You read Latin," observed Don Pedro, surrendering the manuscript. Braddock raised his eyebrows.
William Rufus is disposed of, and David, as grave as a judge, is taking up his slate, looking a little fussed because there is a scratch in the corner. "Well, Susan," says Miss Fosbrook. Susan jumps up in desperation, and puts her hands behind her. Oh dear! oh dear! all that the gentlemen on a journey were saying to one another has gone clean out of her head!
Unhappily, the case is one between men on their touchiest point, when women are pushed aside, and justice and religion as well. We might be living in a heathen land, for aught that morality has to say. Mrs. Pagnell fussed about being seen on her emergence from the Jolly Cricketers. Aminta sent Weyburn to spy for the possible reappearance of Mr. Morsfield.
