But then I began to notice how the crowd ebbed and flowed.

A quadrille was about to begin, and the crowd flowed back to the sides of the drawing room in order to leave the floor clear.

Merot was still standing in the same place reciting as the crowd flowed away from him.

Instead, the crowd flowed upward- toward the exit leading to the surface.

The crowd flowed past the alley mouth in one direction, shouting and singing.

The lively crowd ebbed and flowed in size from a couple of dozen people to a few hundred.

As soon as they had gone by, the crowd flowed back.

The crowd divided and flowed around the structure to the entrances.

The crowd roared at that and flowed back to the cause way.

The crowd flowed with him up the steps now into the temple portico.
