Upon my word you might as well have made it tomorrow. The fuss would have been no worse and a good deal shorter." The next few days passed, as Miss Bussey had predicted, in a fluster. Mary was running after dress makers, John after licenses, Cook's tickets, a best man, and all the impedimenta of a marriage.
We had made the island, and were on a wind beating up to the port, when a vessel was seen to windward, and although I could not understand what the Frenchmen said, I perceived that they were in a great fluster and very busy with their spy-glasses, and Jack Romer, one of my brother 'prentices who had been three years at sea, said to me, `I don't think we'll go to prison after all, Ready, for that vessel is an English man-of-war, if I'm not mistaken. At last she came down within three miles of us, and hoisted English colours and fired a gun.
You must ask again plainly and kindly. The poorer classes are easily flurried; they will always give what information they have if kindly spoken to, but you must not fluster them.
"'There's devilish little to fluster him now, said the Captain, as he tipped the barrel to fill the last canteen. "The old man had stuck at the bottom of the steps. George fairly carried him up, and he lay almost helpless on the floor. "'That last toast, said the Captain, as we left the room, 'will knock any Rebel.
Here, let me take that thing, Step Hen; you're that nervous. If anything did happen to fluster you, I honestly believe you'd up and bang away, and perhaps fill our chum with bird-shot in the bargain."

The parish need not have been in such a fluster with Molly. You might have told them, child, your grandmother wore better things new out of the shop."
That army, upon whose serried ranks you have perhaps, unconsciously, but nevertheless with pity, looked down?... What if you are never to write a word that will be remembered, never even to cause a decent attention, amongst your own generation?" What if after all this stir and fluster, this pain and agony and striving, there should be nothing exceptional about Peter? What rock to stand on then?
It is wrong for me to say it I know it is before you know more; but I wish we might be, all the same. Do you love me deeply, deeply? 'No! she said in a fluster. At this point-blank denial, Stephen turned his face away decisively, and preserved an ominous silence; the only objects of interest on earth for him being apparently the three or four-score sea-birds circling in the air afar off.
And now it will be answered by our own Pansy." Without a trace of the hurry and fluster that had so affected her young mistress, Pansy Potts, in neat white cap and apron, opened the door to the guests.
But Captain Luke likely enough deceived by his own hopes, as even shrewd men will be sometimes either did not notice the fluster I was in, or thought to set matters all right with me in his own way; for when he found that I remained silent he took up the talk himself again, and went on to show in detail the profits of a single venture with a live cargo and his figures were certainly big enough to fire the fancy of any man who was keen for money-getting and who was willing to get his money by rotten ways.
