Presently I became conscious in my reverie of a little crumpled piece of paper on the floor.

We also discovered, first some letters, and next a crumpled piece of paper thrown aside in a corner of one of the shelves.

But a newspaper is hardly read at all when it is crumpled up and used to light the fire.

Parker crumpled as a stiff garment that slips down from a nail.

The knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.

I stood breathless with the paper crumpled up in my hand.

I don't know how long or how short a time I had been playing with the ashes, when my fingers suddenly encountered a piec e of crumpled paper hidden deep among them.
