"It was full of petticoats with lace frills on them--frills and frills," she whispered to her friend Jessie as she bent over her geography. "I saw her shaking them out. I heard Miss Minchin say to Miss Amelia that her clothes were so grand that they were ridiculous for a child. My mamma says that children should be dressed simply. She has got one of those petticoats on now. I saw it when she sat down."英文原著 · 《A Little Princess》

She dared not further disturb them.英文原著 · 《A Lady of Quality》

The nasty western breeze blowing in from the street ruffled his hair and the frills of Gaud's /coiffe/, and behind them a door was banged furiously. The passage was not meet for talking of serious matters in. After these first phrases, choking, Gaud remained speechless, feeling her head spin, and without ideas. They still advanced towards the street door; he seemed so anxious to get away, and she was so determined not to be shaken off.英文原著 · 《AN ICELAND FISHERMAN》
