As she approached the mill she clung to the hand of Appomattox, and shrinking, kept her sister between herself and the Big Thing which put the sweet morning air a-flutter around its lair. As she drew near the door she almost cried out in affright her little heart grew tight, her lips were drawn. "Oh, it can't hurt you, Shiloh," said her sister pulling her along.
Sister Persida's woman's heart was set all a-flutter, and she quite forgot that she was trying to be a nun, and that she belonged to the solitary and forsaken turtledove in the wilderness.
If there is anything prophetic in coincidences, everything pointed to the fact that Caecilia was to play a more prominent part in his life than that of a mere name. Even before Felix left Frankfort there were some who were in his secret. Evidently the Mendelssohn family had received reports of his attentions to the fair Cécile Jeanrenaud and were all a-flutter with happy anticipation.
An hour later the Spanish gipsy girl, having shown herself in the emptying ball-room with ingenious excuses for her long absence, took refuge in her own apartments. On sailing day, Benton, at the pier, watched the steamer stand out into the river between the coming and going of ferry-boats and tugs. About him stamped the usual farewell throng with hats raised and handkerchiefs a-flutter.
Connery began to squirm on the floor and get to his wabbly knees, and Gilfoyle writhed back to consciousness with wits a-flutter. There was a silence of mutual attention for a while. Connery was growling from all-fours like a surly dog: "I'll get you for this you'll see! You'll be sorry for this." This restored Dyckman's temper to its throne.
"I'm afraid it will be too late," she cried, all a-flutter. "Too late? Why?" "I mean," she went on confusedly, "he might think we had waited too long." She was thinking of Veath's wistful eyes. "Hello! Here you are," cried a strong voice, and Veath loomed up through the shadows. Hugh released her hand and dropped back in the chair from which he had half risen to kiss her.
At which point Moran, game in the face of horror, accepted the inevitable. He gave a characteristic jerk from the belt. "Me, I'll try anything oncet. Lead me to it." The elevator stopped at the ninth floor. "Out here for the jackies' dance," said the elevator boy. The two stepped out with the others. Stepped out gingerly, caps in hand. A corridor full of women. A corridor a-flutter with girls.
"What is it that you have to tell me about this boy's father?" Meteetse began to speak. At the first mention of Macdonald's name Sheba's eyes dilated. Her smile, her sweet, glad pleasure at Gordon's arrival, were already gone like the flame of a blown candle. Clearly her heart was a-flutter, in fear of she knew not what.
It was time for his dinner then, and when he returned from the car conductors' coffee-joint, he found Miss Baker waiting for him. The ancient little dressmaker was at all times willing to talk of Old Grannis to anybody that would listen, quite unconscious of the gossip of the flat. McTeague found her all a-flutter with excitement. Something extraordinary had happened.
In the peaceful days before the war it had, no doubt, been used by a Belgian farmer to water his fields. But now Jack saw something that set his heart a-flutter. From the dome-like crest of the windmill stretched a number of wires tautly drawn and leading away to some point beyond his range of view. For a moment he contemplated the scene in silence with tingling nerves.
