A sensation such as he had known when going in to bat was playing now in the top of Val's chest, but he followed his mother and uncle doggedly, looking at no more than he could help, and thinking that the place smelled 'fuggy. People seemed to be lurking everywhere, and he plucked Soames by the sleeve. "I say, Uncle, you're not going to let those beastly papers in, are you?"
The haze was thickening, so there was little danger of the people aboard the launch noticing the manoeuvre. The launch had, however, sighted the boat. There was no doubt about that, for she had altered her course, and was coming straight towards them. 'Beastly fuggy under here! growled Roy in Ken's ear. 'Take it easy, old chap. We shan't have long to wait. Ken's father heard, and bent down.

Anyhow there were worse places than hard decks to sleep on. Mac and Smoky scorned the fuggy atmosphere of the lower decks, and proceeded to select a breezy spot on the after boat-deck. They loosened the canvas cover of a lifeboat, levelled oars and other prominent obstacles, and disposed their scanty bedding to the best possible advantage on this uneven ground.
When the two lovers entered the sitting-room, Freddy was instantly as conscious of the new aura which surrounded them as he was conscious of the sweet desert air which clung to their clothes and bodies. It came like a whiff from a far pure world. "How fuggy you are in here," Meg said. "Dear boy, stop working." "All right," he said. "I was only waiting for you to come in."
Tapster told me all about her last night," she answered. "I suppose because he's so rich himself he takes a kind of morbid interest in other rich people. He said that she's the owner of one of the biggest metal-broking businesses whatever that may mean in the world. But her uncle and aunt have never allowed her to know anyone or to see anyone outside their own tiresome, fuggy old lot.
This atmosphere was not only as if the windows had not been opened for years; it was as if it had been inhaled over and over again by alcohol-breathing lungs; also, the horrid memories of sordid lusts, of unnumbered bestial acts, seemed to lie heavy on the polluted fuggy air. To get away from the all-pervading stench, Mavis hurried to the door.
"It's horribly fuggy in here, and I've Jambi to do; but I'm not going till you give me your word that you'll leave young Kinloch alone." "If you don't walk out I'll chuck you out." "You must catch me first," said John. And then a very pretty chase took place. Beaumont-Greene, fat, scant of breath, full of macaroons, began to pursue John round and round the table.
We were going through a sort of convalescent room, where people were sitting who had been in hospital. It was a big place, a little warmer than the rest of the building, but still abominably fuggy. There were about half a dozen men in the room, reading and playing games. They looked at us with lack-lustre eyes for a moment, and then returned to their occupations.
Scene designers, scene painters and scene shifters were standing about with a stage director, whose raucous voice cut the fuggy atmosphere incessantly in what was intended to represent the exterior of a hotel at Monte Carlo. It more nearly resembled the materialization of a dope fiend's dream of an opium factory.
