"I'll stretch a point since it is war-time. I give you my word that I threw overboard a small bronze paper-weight that was cluttering up my traps.

"And I want to say, sir, that the gentleman is giving it to you straight."
Everything was spick and span and mighty attractive clean and neat-looking with the new stock in the shining cases and arranged on the glistening white shelves: not all of it set out by any means, of course, but no unplaced goods in sight, cluttering up the counters or kicking round the floor. "The way he's worked ! You'd hardly believe it, Homer.
She shut the furnace door and went up-stairs again. "Smells like something burning cloth, or something," called Annie, from the kitchen. "It's only an old apron that was cluttering up my my bureau drawer." Thus she successfully demonstrated the first lesson in the cruel and rigid course of mental training she had mapped out for herself. Leaving Winnebago was not easy.
