She fumed and fretted and made things fly for Struthers always works hardest, I've noticed, when in a temper and surrendering to the corroding tides which were turning her gentle nature into gall and wormwood, obliquely and tremulously warned the somewhat startled Peter against ungodly and frivolous females who 'ave no right to be corrupting simple-minded colonials and who 'ave no scruples against playing with men the same as a cat would play with a mouse.
We stood round in feverish impatience, and the minute consumed in putting on those miserable leg-fenders seemed like a year. Ned himself, however, did not seem in the least flurried by our excitement. "Pity they don't make these things fasten with springs instead of straps," he observed, by way of genial conversation. Oh, how we chafed and fumed!
How dare the little rebel defy my orders? I shall have her removed to the belfry-room; a night or two there will humble her pride, I dare say," fumed the madame, pacing up and down the room. "I have brought worse tempers than hers into subjection; still I never dreamed the little minx would dare openly defy me in that manner.
He was looking for Joyce to find him a collar-button that was missing. "Dawggone my hide!" he fumed, and stopped abruptly, the collar-button forgotten. Joyce flew out of Dave's arms into her father's. "Oh, Daddy, Daddy, I'm so happy," she whispered from the depths of his shoulder. The cattleman looked at Dave, and his rough face worked.

So he fumed, and fretted, and snorted, and snored.
They chased those that straggled and fumed at a few men who seemed to show by their attitudes that they had decided to remain at that spot. They were like critical shepherds struggling with sheep.

He ordered Sahwah removed to the hospital, where he made half a dozen X-ray pictures of her hip. The joint was so badly inflamed and swollen that it was impossible to tell just where the trouble lay. Sahwah fumed and fretted with impatience at having to stay in bed so long. Surgeon after surgeon examined the fracture and shook their heads.
"Aye," growled Richard, "she had best be silent." Diana rose, to battle, her cheeks crimson. "It asks a braver man than you to compel my obedience," she told him.

"You are not to go," I said. "I shall not dance with you once," and I took my former place by Mrs. Sandford. Preston fumed; declared I was just like a piece of marble; and went away. I did not feel quite so impassive as he said I looked. "What are you going to wear to-night, Daisy?" Mrs. Sandford asked presently. "I don't know, ma'am." "But you must know soon, my dear.
