The usual futilities with which such occasions can be cluttered and which have shaped the destinies of immemorial women into a tyranny of petty things. Then Mrs. Becker hurried upstairs, her white wrapper floating after. In the bathroom her husband leaned to a mirror, his jaw line thrust to the cleave of a razor. "I really envy you, Ben. Not even your daughter's wedding day can disturb you.
Gloria's heart sank in despair; she felt as though she were going to faint. But all the time her hands, like Gratton's, had been groping. At the moment when she felt that her knees were giving way under her, she found where an arm of the cave continued, narrow, slanting upward steeply, cluttered with blocks of stone.
Besides, he was a frightful chump, so we naturally drifted together; and while we were taking a quiet snort in a corner that wasn't all cluttered up with artists and sculptors and what-not, he furthermore endeared himself to me by a most extraordinarily gifted imitation of a bull-terrier chasing a cat up a tree.
I glanced around and started to say, a measuring glass on a dirty plate next to half a cold fried egg, but she stopped me with a sweep of her arm which came dangerously close to the flasks and retorts all holding dirtycolored liquids which cluttered the sink. "No, no. I mean outside."

Little Tommy Barnes was asleep now, and when they waked him up he was scared, and cried, and said he wanted to go home to his ma, and didn't want to be a robber any more.

The facts are there for any one to see; the hopeless and exhausted woman, her cluttered three or four rooms, the swarm of sickly and neglected children."
But though wisdom urged discretion, a blue eye and a furtive dimple beckoned. When morning came, he straightened his stiff legs and, picking his way through the wooden sandals that cluttered the aisle, went out to the small platform. The train had stopped at a village, and a boy with a tray suspended from his shoulders, bearing boxes of native food, was howling dismally: "Bento! Eo Bento!"

No teams or trucks cluttered up the road. As fast as a bomb shattered the road out there behind the mist, or made debris of a truck, the engineers hurried up, cleared the way, removed the debris and the ceaseless procession in the ghostly moonlight moved on. Another ambulance brought in two more wounded. After one o'clock the bombing stopped. Some other cross-road was taking its turn.
