I had, indeed, touched the hidden spring of her sympathy, and as it gushed forth in unison with my own, I read the flutterings of her heart in her crimsoning cheeks, and contemplated the bounties of that Providence which forgets not the humblest of its creatures.
It was a dark night; a shadow lay like a blanket on the sea. He felt for his revolver they had not taken it from him and started to make his way cautiously aft, when something he saw brought him to an abrupt halt. A figure! a woman's! or a young girl's? not far distant, looking over the side. The form was barely discernible; he could but make out the vague flutterings of a gown.
He hesitated, but all whom he consulted advised him to make the trial, and accordingly, on a fixed day after mass, with due solemnity the digging began. They had not dug long, the story relates, before they heard "amid the earth horrid strugglings and flutterings and violent quackings of the distressed mallard."
How charming they looked, how sweetly they were dressed! A feeling of envy mingled with the joy she ever felt at seeing pretty things; she was quite unconscious that she herself was pretty under that hat whose brim turned down all round. But as she sat a leaden feeling slowly closed her heart, varied by nervous flutterings, when she saw someone whom she ought to know.

They show the way the scaffolding goes. Moths, bats, and owls divide the work between them somehow. He sat up suddenly to listen, and the children sat up with him. 'Hark! he added, 'do you hear that? Sighings and flutterings rose everywhere about them, and overhead the fluffy spires of the tree-tops all bent one way as the winds went foraging across the night.
He always knew where the plump sister was. He wouldn't catch anybody else. She often cried out that it wasn't fair; and it really was not. But when, at last, he caught her; when, in spite of all her silken rustlings, and her rapid flutterings past him, he got her into a corner whence there was no escape; then his conduct was the most execrable.
There were the usual flutterings of the "ins" who wanted to remain in, and of the "outs" who were anxious to taste the social sweets and the personal pomp of the successful politician, who had got the magic letters "M.P." to his name. The system absorbs them and they become cogs in a machine, whose movements they have little power of controlling or directing.
