Others were large, and still within wrappings. She hurriedly read the lettering, darted away to the cupboard, back again to the shelves, and once more to the cupboard. Here there was a litter of papers also, for Gaga was temperamentally fussy and untidy, and everything he owned was in disorder. She put her hand upon a cocoa-tin. It contained white pellets which looked like rice.
In it lay the record of many musings, of many talks, and out of it selecting what seemed suitable, adding, altering, and arranging I have shaped the chapters that hereafter follow. That I have a right to do so I have fully satisfied my own conscience, an exceptionally fussy one.
One thing about this yacht-cruisin' act is how close a line you get on the people you're shut up with.

His former brakeman had asked to be transferred because, he said, "Kennedy was as fussy about his car as an old maid about her bird-cage." Joe Giddy, who was braking with Ray now, called him "the bride," because he kept the caboose and bunks so clean.

In a few loud and vigorous sentences he expressed a withering contempt for France, its institutions, its customs, and especially its custom-houses.
