Those were not the days of flutings and bows and rufflings innumerable. Elizabeth's dress was a long, perfectly plain one, of white India mull.

Her fair hair was dressed in a large loose bow on the crown, and lay in soft light curls upon her brow.
They never let themselves clash with any one, and their private rufflings of each other had only a happy effect of aerating their depths, and left them as mirror-smooth and thoroughly one as the bosom of a garden lake after the ripples have died behind two jostling swans.

"These surface troubles come and go, Like rufflings of the sea; The deeper depth is out of reach To all, my God, but Thee." There are two words in Jeremiah that I try and take for my life's motto: "Dwell deep." I love to bring it out of my violin. Miss Rayner smiled.

If you really must have all those miles of tablecloths and napkins and doilies and lace rufflings we'll do it afterwards, not before."

The tender glow on Billy's face told its own story, and Bertram's eager eyes were not slow to read it.
A few rufflings of his feathers now will teach him how to keep them smooth and glossy in the time to come." "You are in error, my child," replied Mr. Delancy, speaking very seriously.
From certain symptoms and rufflings of the feathers and cockings of the tail, however, my companion knew that Blind-boy was not as amiable as might have been wished. "Take care," said Johnny. "Why?" said I. "Because he's angry."
