    Walking thru a woodland path/Peaceful, my mind it relieves/The only sound, the soft susurrus/Of my feet on fallen leaves

    The susurrus of old. A stolen glimpse of an ankle from a crinoline raised coyly, just so.

    Why the susurrus, green grass? Why tell the trees what ain't so.? Susurrating grass, the trees don't have to know. #failed_Ink_Blot_lyrics

    My butler, Brabinger, has perfected the art of the discreet and diplomatic susurrus. It's the way he creeps up on you that startles.
