What dandy stuff!" cried Bobbie Boomer. "Now we can have regular league games!" exclaimed Charlie Star, who was perhaps the best player of all the boys. "And a real mask, like the Pirates have!" cried Harry Bentley. "Take 'em along," said Mr. Morrison. "They're only cluttering up my cellar. I'm glad to get rid of 'em, and especially to good boys."
It was nearly midnight before we came to Neuilly and stood awkwardly beside the white cot in the little white room where the Gilded Youth was lying. How the gilding had fallen off! All white and broken he lay, a crushed wreck of a man, with the cluttering contrivances of science swathing him, binding him, encasing him, holding him miserably together while the tide of life ran out.
"But David. Anything you diverted to care for these people would limit your ability to fight back, wouldn't it? They would be cluttering up all your transportation, frustrating effective retaliation. Your second move would be to take the bombs which destroy people and not property and ... use them on your own cities." Captain Arnold drained his glass. "That would be...." He did not finish.
Such poor creatures should learn that there is a dirtiness that is far worse than dirt in a house a dirtiness, a muddiness of mind, a cluttering of thought, a making of the mind a harboring place for wrong thoughts.
He remembered what he had talked about, and he smiled grimly over the recollection space and leisure; the defective intelligence that trapped men into cluttering their lives with useless junk; so many things to have and to do that they couldn't turn around without breaking something.

Then resuming his sententious tone of military command, he took up the task where he had left it off. "Trail your pikes." The order was this time obeyed by the company with something approaching resemblance to the action of Thoroughgood, and Halfman went on. "Cheek your pikes." Out of the confused cluttering of weapons which ensued, Timothy Garlinge emerged tremulous.
They listened side by side, to the brisk kick and spurt and crackle of the fluid spark leaping between the two brass knobs in the little operating-room just above where they sat. They could hear it distinctly, above the drone of the wind and the throb of the engines and the quiet evening noises of the orderly ship spitting and cluttering out into space.
Each time that the little Bunnell sounder was galvanized into articulate life he bent his ear and listened to the busy cluttering of the dots and dashes, as the reports of races, as the weights and names of jockeys, and lists of entries and statements of odds and conditions went speeding into the busy keys of the big poolroom below, where men and women waited with white and straining faces, and sorrowed and rejoiced as the ever-fluctuant goddess of chance brought them ill luck or success.
"This is going to be your street-car, Peachy, a six-cylinder one." She colored like a wild rose. "Oh, Jerry, I I keep forgetting." "By Gad! it's a good thing I'm going to give up my city rooms and come out here to watch my p's and q's. Gosh darn her neck! I told her to quit cluttering up that side-yard turf with her gosh darn little flower-beds! Gosh darn her neck!
"The first thing Monday morning, we must have Jane hoist some of those small trees out of our way. They have been cluttering the work all afternoon, but I was so anxious to get those big trees down on the river crib that the little ones just had to lay there and wait a turn," said Mr. Latimer, as they reached camp.
