"And don't let me have to repeat my orders." "Very good indeed, my lord. Very good indeed." He trotted forward, barking fussily.

Her carefully-curled fringe was lying in the dressing-table drawer, and Molly had never seen her without it! "Yes, yes; in one moment," she answered fussily. "I will come to your room in one minute." Molly felt checked, and there had been something strange and unfamiliar in Miss Carew's face.
In the middle of this space, which Link rightly guessed to be the judging ring, stood a very low wooden platform. At one side of the ring were a chair and a table, where sat a steward in a Palm Beach suit, fussily turning over the leaves of a ledger and assorting a heap of high-packed and vari-colored ribbons.

Prue was mollified at once, and after stirring fussily about for several minutes gave her sister all she asked, and departed to the myriad small cares that made her happiness.

The housekeeper, who immediately announced herself as Susan Timmins, was fussily determined to see that all was as it should be in the ladies' chambers. "I can't trust this gal I got to do the upstairs work," she declared, saying it through her nose and with emphasis. "Just as sure as kin be, if ye go for to help a poor relation you air always sorry for it."
Then, as if to divert me, he rather fussily refused the correct evening stick I had chosen for him and seized a knobby bit of thornwood suitable only for moor and upland work, and brazenly quite discarded the gloves.
