You can't guess how that braces me the thought that it's for you! You see, I'm beginning to count on things now. I'm not even afraid of your money now. Good old Grif Griffith, you know has given me a shy at a peach of a proposition toughest problem I was ever up against. It's a big irrigation dam that has feazed half a dozen good engineers." "But you'll solve the problem! You can do anything!"
The man began to struggle again, heaving instinctively against the ropes, taking great, deep breaths. His face, with its golden skin, flushed dark and surcharged, he heaved again. The great veins in his neck stood out. But it was no good, he went relaxed. Then again, suddenly, he jerked his feet. 'Another pair of braces, William, cried the excited soldier.
A flaming red poll, one of the points of his collar up and one down, his false shirtfront thrust under a pair of home-made braces, which were green, two white bands of tape hanging down, a tuft of woollen shirt visible here and there.
Along the bank of a pebbly stream, between pickets of mounted guards, the troop of holiday-folk was strung in scattered groups. Yonder, a body of the King's huntsmen struggled with braces of leashed hounds. Here were gathered together the falconers bearing the King's birds. Nearer, a band of grooms led the King's blooded horses to the water.
Oh, boys, don't be sentimental. it's bad for the digestion! Take a tonic, follow me! Oh, your tubs in your boats, my boys, And by your braces stand, And we'll have one of those fine whales, Hand, boys, over hand! So, be cheery, my lads! may your hearts never fail!

Make fast Make fast like that! Good! All together! Heave pull on the braces." And the whole breadth of the foremast, whose larboard braces had been loosened, turned slowly. The wind then swelling the sails imparted a certain speed to the ship. Dick Sand then had the jib sheet-ropes loosened. Then he called the blacks aft: "Behold what is done, my friends, and well done.
These pretty little hoods, which were placed over the head of the hawk when carried on the wrist to the hunting field, were often embroidered in panels and furnished with braces for tying round the hawk's head. In the British Museum there is a curious silver lock-ring for a hawk engraved with arms and owner's name, apparently of seventeenth-century workmanship.
"Would have been better," she said, resuming her seat in the depths of 'Luxury. "But the skirts of to-day don't help." "And my bow would have been deeper: but the braces I bought yesterday afternoon " "That'll do," she said, laughing. "Seriously, where is Mr. Larel, and why are you here?"
The braces, shrouds, stays and halyards, were all plain enough, and I could point to either, at a moment's notice; but when it came to the rest of the running rigging, I found it necessary to look a little, before I could speak with certainty. Eager as I was to ship, the indulgence of gazing at all I saw was so attractive, that it was noon before we reached an Indiaman.
