Fox-Moore, talking to Vida about the Foreign Office reception, to which they had all gone on after the Tunbridges' dinner, kept watching with a kind of half-absent-minded scorn his wife's fussily punctilious pains to prepare the brew 'his way.

As the procession curved down into Trafalgar Road, it grew in stature, until, towards the end of it, the children were as tall as the adults who walked fussily as hens, proudly as peacocks, on its flank.
The mate was at the foc'sle whispering instructions to Annis. "Look alive," said the master of the Frolic, "I'll just take 'em on deck for the present." He came fussily to the side to superintend, gazing curiously at Annis, who was standing watching the operations. "What a nice ship!" she said. "May I come on board?" "You're quite welcome if you don't get in the way," was the reply.
She went into the house, and Captain Pharo, absorbed in lighting his pipe, and stepping about fussily and impatiently, had the misfortune to put a foot into two piles of eggs of contrasting qualities. "By clam!" said he, white with dismay. "Ho-hum! oh dear! Wal, wal Guess, while she 's in the house, I'll go down to the herrin'-shed and git some lobsters to take 'em; they're very fond on 'em."
