We went, silently berating the brutal harshness of grown people. We went, airily, flutteringly, luminously, like a bunch of butterflies. At the head of the stairs the music caught us up in a maelstrom of excitement and whirled us down into the throng of pleasure. And when we reached the drawing-room and found mother we felt as though we were walking on air. We thought it was self-control.
Marie stole slowly, flutteringly, along the path, like a white night-moth out of the fields.
She glanced ever so softly, sighed ever so flutteringly. "Working side by side with him, seeing him day after day, how have you been able to resist him?" Emma McChesney was only human, after all. "By remembering that this is a business house, not a matrimonial parlor." The dart found no lodging place in Miss Sharp's sleek armor. She seemed scarcely to have heard.
John Westlock hurried after her. Softly the whispering water broke and fell; as roguishly the dimples twinkled, as he stole upon her footsteps. Oh, foolish, panting, timid little heart, why did she feign to be unconscious of his coming! Why wish herself so far away, yet be so flutteringly happy there! 'I felt sure it was you, said John, when he overtook her in the sanctuary of Garden Court.
"I am too dull to understand." "Think that I tell you God's truth!" he cried.

And when he had seemingly followed them to the seaside well, what would any one naturally think?

Anyway, she would have taken no interest in it. Her amazing egoism would have prevented that.
She thought him a very good-looking man, in his way, but rather old: say all of thirty: and Glenn Mitchell had been handsome, and romantic, and twenty. Young Mrs. Champneys, then, didn't respond to Mr. Berkeley Hayden's notice gratefully, pleasedly, flutteringly, as other young women and many older ones did. This one paid a more flattering attention to Mr. Jason Vandervelde than to him.
When they observe their prey, they descend flutteringly, and place the feet and the tips of the wings on the surface of the water. In this position I have seen many of them rest for five or six seconds, until they had completed the capture.
The exertion made him hot, which may account for the rage he burst into when Mrs. Hawkshaw began flutteringly to apologize. 'You're sure, ma'am, sure what are you sure of? I'll tell you what I am sure of eh? This keeping clear of men's a damned pretence. You don't impose upon me. Don't believe in your pothouse nunneries not a bit.
