She looked up, laughing at herself. "Do you know, I really believed I'd dreamed out a golden inspiration, and then to strike just the face I wanted and then to have everything foozle out!" Wilmot walked over to the modelling-table on which, strongly modelled in wet clay but quite meaningless, was the bust of a man. "I think." said Barbara, "it would look better if you snubbed his nose for him."
Two weeks now you have perched oh a porch perched and sat, and nothing more. Dawdle and dream and foozle over your musty old books. Yah! Highbrow!" "Little do you wot; but I do more ah, far more! than perching on this porch." "What do you do? Mope and mowl? If so, mowl for us. I never saw anybody mowl. Or does one hear people when they mowl?" "Naturally it wouldn't occur to you but I think.
Ventimore could not repress a shudder. Hitherto he had never been able to take Fakrash quite seriously, in spite of all his supernatural powers; he had treated him with a half-kindly, half-contemptuous tolerance, as a well-meaning, but hopelessly incompetent, old foozle. That the Jinnee should ever become malevolent towards him had never entered his head till now and yet he undoubtedly had.
He did not know that he had said "Pretty!" or R that he had said "A black business!" several times that afternoon; nor did I know that I had exclaimed, "For the love of Mike!"

"There!" repeated he, drawing the green curtain as if to shade it from the fire, but in reality to hide the dulness the recent shaking had given it; "that wine," said he, "is a quarter of a century in bottle, at the very least." 'Indeed, observed Sponge: 'time it was drunk. 'A quarter of a century? gaped Robert Foozle.
You came to me to report and I, knowing Harleston, solved the remainder of the mystery. But with Harleston's entry the affair assumed quite a different aspect; and it is no reflection on you, Marston, that your expedition to his apartment didn't succeed; though somewhat later Crenshaw did act as a semi-reasonable man, and secured the letter only to foozle again like an imbecile.
Go for safety. Miss Bingley is a tough proposition, but George Perkins is sure to foozle a few, and if we play safe we've got 'em cold. The others don't count."
