One morning we had only just finished lunch I was sitting alone by the window thinking of my uncle's release outside there was the steam and glitter of an April thaw when all at once my aunt, Pelageya Petrovna, walked into the room. She was at all times restless and fidgetty, she spoke in a shrill voice and was always waving her arms about; on this occasion she simply pounced on me.
The term "fidgetty" seems to describe appropriately the temperament of the elephant. They evince the strongest love of retirement and a corresponding dislike to intrusion.
Isaac at first looked very much confused scratched his head and twisted around in a very fidgetty manner, but presently his countenance flushed, and a smile of triumph crossing his sharp features, announced that he had been suddenly favored with an idea apropos. This was instantly perceived by some of the wags standing near, one of whom exclaimed: "I see it it's coming!"
Moreover, cross, and fidgetty, and scolding, as Mary had been ever heretofore, to her meek step-daughter Grace, all at once, as if just to disappoint any preconcerted theory, now that actual calamity was come, she turned to be a kind good mother to her. Roger and his daughter could scarcely believe their ears. "Grace, dear, I know you're a sensible good girl, try and cheer your father."
Her industrious or fidgetty habits were chronic and inveterate, and people, in remarking upon them, did not reflect that this species of restlessness is in itself a disease, seldom analyzed, more seldom cured.
Nearly two years ago! What changes had been seen since then. The bays were fidgetty and would not start at once. Hugo was just shouting a hasty direction to the groom at their heads when he happened to glance aside towards the station door where two or three persons were standing. The groom had cause to wonder what was the matter.
But at about half-past eight we had dined at seven Grayson began to be restless and fidgetty and at last said apologetically: "'Don't think me inhospitable, Challoner, but if you aren't going to stay the night you had better be going. And don't go by Gad's Hill. Take the road down to Higham and catch the train there. "'Why, what is the matter with Gad's Hill? I asked.
You can talk of particulars afterwards, but now tell me at once if he will meet me?" "Why, as to that," said the admiral, with a great deal of fidgetty hesitation, "you see, I can't exactly say." "Not say!" "No. He's a very odd fish. Don't you think he's a very odd fish, Jack Pringle'?" "Ay, ay, sir." "There, you hear, Charles, that Jack is of my opinion that your opponent is an odd fish."
Julian had been the leaping child of healthy energy. He was now quite obviously the servant of lassitude. His foot left the ground as if with a tired reluctance, and his hands were fidgetty, yet nerveless. The eyes, that looked at the doctor and looked away by swift turns, burned with a haggard eagerness unutterably different from their former bright vivacity.
What had happened was this: As my sister was inclined to be fidgetty and troublesome, my mother had, perhaps unwisely, given her a packet of sugar-almonds to keep her quiet. The child was actually sucking one of these when she arrived at the Chapel Royal, but was, of course, made to remove it. Unseen by any one, she managed to place another in her mouth.
