As he entered the house, however, and received the enthusiastic welcome to which he was accustomed, his bearing was as unruffled as if he had walked down from Morrisania reading a breviary.
Brilliana looked with some impatience at the unruffled face of her adversary, and when the immediate clamor dwindled she addressed him, sarcastically: "These revellers," she said, "would not seem to be at the last extremity. But their festival must not deafen our conference." She advanced to the door of the banqueting-room and struck against it with her hand.
Alders swept the eastern edges of the current where the rivulet widened beyond the basin and ran south along the meadow’s edge to the Wood of Sainte Lesse a cool, unruffled flow, breast deep, floored with sand as soft as silver velvet.

Kate was outside doing all those little necessary duties by the livestock of her homestead, which she was accustomed to do, in the calm unruffled fashion in which she always went about her work. Helen stared. She could scarcely believe her eyes. The miracle was altogether beyond her comprehension. But her delight and relief were profound. She greeted her sister and spoke.
Farther on lay the ocean, stretching in its boundless extent away to the horizon. There lay islands and sand-banks with light-houses.
