Under the mingled influence of surprise, and bashfulness at being overheard, and something not very far removed from alarm at the unexpected presence of one so famed for evil deeds as the man beside him, Arvina recoiled a pace or two, and thrust his hand into the bosom of his toga, disarranging its folds for a moment, and suffering the eye of the conspirator to dwell on the hilt of a weapon, which he recognized instantly as the stiletto he had lost in the struggle with the miserable slave on the Esquiline.
He would have seen a woman glide noiselessly through the open door, with the precaution of a malefactor! He would have seen her examine, without disarranging, all the papers on the table. She frowned on seeing Dorsenne's and the Marquis's cards. She took from the blotting-case some loose leaves and held them in front of the glass, trying to read there the imprint left upon them.
Christina was now walking up and down one particular seam in the floor with as much care as if the seam was a tight-rope, and this exercise she continued. Shere moved over to the table and quite absently played with the gloves which lay there, disarranging their position, so that they no longer made a cross.
In the morning, during the dusting time, it is carefully covered with a handkerchief or a little blue towel; and the curious Japanese wooden pillow, which supports the neck, not the head, renders it possible to sleep at ease without disarranging the marvellous structure. After the apprentice has finished her part of the work, the hairdresser herself appears, and begins to build the coiffure.
It had been expected by Buell that he would fight the enemy on the 9th of October, but the Confederates disposed of that proposition by attacking us on the 8th, thus disarranging a tactical conception which, with our superior numbers, would doubtless have proved successful had it not been anticipated by an enterprising foe.
Samuel Richardson, at Bath, Smith astonished his friend by suddenly disarranging his classification, and re- arranging the fossils in their stratigraphical order, saying "These came from the blue lias, these from the over-lying sand and freestone, these from the fuller's earth, and these from the Bath building stone."

She might have been taken had been taken to the top of the Alps and the bottom of Herculaneum, without disarranging a fold in her dress, or displacing a pin.
It was rather a mixed-up explanation, but the girls finally gathered that Henri had had the misfortune to break his arm, and had sent for his aunt to come to Paris and spend the New Year Day with him instead of taking his intended trip to St. Germain. Henri had not known that his aunt had the young ladies visiting her, and so had no idea that he was disarranging her plans to such an extent.
What then is the type, the typical haunted house, from which, if narratives vary much, they are apt to break down under cross- examination? The phenomena are usually phenomena of sight, or sound, or both. As a rule the sounds are footsteps, rustling of dresses, knocks, raps, heavy bangs, noises as of dragging heavy weights, and of disarranging heavy furniture.
Gerrish looked at the other ladies for admiration, and Mrs. Munger said, rapidly, without disarranging her face "Oh yes. And how much misery could be saved in such cases by a little firmness at the outset!" "Mr. Marvin differed with me," said Mr. Gerrish sorrowfully.
