The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Blix by Frank Norris: his neck in his collar with a rotary movement of head and
shoulders. He frowned terribly at trifling objects in corners of
the room. He cleared his throat till the glassware jingled. He
pulled at his mustache. He perspired, fumed, fretted, and was
suddenly seized with an insane desire to laugh. Once only he
caught the eye of K. D. B., calmly sitting in her corner, picking
daintily at her fish, whereupon he immediately overturned the
vinegar and pepper casters upon the floor. Just so might have
behaved an overgrown puppy in the presence of a sleepy,
unperturbed chessy-cat, dozing by the fire.
