Dear teachers,
Would you tell me whether I am right with my choice of the suitable interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
..in the parlor Jessica was playing at the piano, the sound of the merry waltz filling every nook and corner of the comfortable home. (Th. Dreiser, “Sister Carrie”)
There was going to be quacking and grunting, mocking and neighing from every nook and corner. (V. W. Brooks, "The Confident Years")
every nook and corner = all over the place
