  • a flurry of wind
  • "I missed the beast in my flurry, but he dropped you all right and was off like a streak."
  • With a little manœuvring they contrived to meet on the doorstep which was […] in a boiling stream of passers-by, hurrying business people speeding past in a flurry of fumes and dust in the bright haze.
