How'd I miss this one? I love "billow-jerk" -- perfect. And yes, those FINEs immediately get me thinking the lady doth protest too much, that something's wrong. That dust at the end is ominous. Years ago when my father saw dust in the kitchen sink of my grandfather's apartment, that was when he knew it was time for Granddad to move in with us. And typing "dust at the end" just now reminds me of "dust to dust."
