If a squall comes, keep a steady hand on the helm and a sharp eye to wind'ard, and you're safe as the Bank. If it's too strong for you, loose the halyards, let the sheets fly, and down with the helm; the easiest thing in the world if you only look alive and don't get flurried." "Very good," said Jack, and as he said so his pipe went out; so he knocked out the ashes and refilled it.
"I shall take you in without any preparation," he said, "that she may not have time to be flurried. Only, be quiet and natural." Did he know what a mountain there was in her throat when he seemed to think it so easy to be natural? She found him leading her into a darkened room, and heard his cheerful tones saying, "I have brought Ethel to you!"
I tried very hard to show no emotion; but I suppose I was a little flurried, as I once detected myself calling him Mr Mortimer: his name, you know, is Mortimer Gazebee. I ought not to have done so, certainly; but it was not so bad as if I had called him Mortimer without the Mr, was it? I don't think there could possibly be a prettier Christian name than Mortimer.

The parcel was soon opened, and contained a note from her uncle, and a stiff, large document, looking as though it had come from the hands of a lawyer. Isa glanced at the document, and read some few of the words on the outer fold, but they did not carry home to her mind any clear perception of their meaning. She was flurried at the moment, and the words, perhaps, were not very plain.

Why, Mother!" "The rest of the house is so big and so awful new-fashioned and grand. Not like me a bit," she apologized meekly but not with the flurried meekness of her apologies to Peter senior. "Here you've saved all my dear old things I had in the days before everything was big. I never can get used to it, and I never will now.
When she reached the trumpet-major and Anne she was looking very bright and rather flurried, and seemed sorry when Loveday said that he must leave them and return to the camp.
