Since then, she had reproached him afresh whenever she caught him looking at it. And inasmuch as it could hardly be avoided by anyone who cast the briefest glance in her general direction, he had been in hot water from Chicago to the present moment. He couldn't even escape to the smoking room.
Monmouth felt his sudden enthusiasm chilled by that tone and manner. "Mr. Newlington," said Mr. Wilding, after the briefest of pauses, and the fat, sinful merchant started forward in alarm. It was like a summons of doom. "His Majesty came hither, I am informed, to receive at your hands a sum of money twenty thousand pounds towards the expenses of the campaign. Have you the money at hand?"
In parting and meeting even after the briefest of intervals it was always the same with her; always she had for him some informal hint of the formality of parting; always some recognition of their meeting in the light touching of hands as though the symbol of ceremony, at least, was due to him, to herself, and to the occasion.
There are periods in a man's life in which nothing seems impossible to him; in which by the mere force of will he triumphs over impossibility. But such conquests are apt to be of the briefest. John Saltram felt that he must very soon break down. The heavily throbbing heart, the aching limbs, the dizzy sight, and parched throat, told him how much this desperate chase had cost him.
I have often had occasion to say to you, and so I merely repeat it again in the briefest fashion, that we do not grasp the central blessedness of the Christian faith unless, beyond forgiveness and acceptance, beyond the mere putting away of the dread of punishment either here or hereafter, we see that the gift of God in Jesus Christ is the communication to every believing soul of that divine life which is bestowed by the Spirit of Christ granted to every believing heart.

They were so quiet, so gloomy, so changed. When she had spoken two or three times and received polite, but the briefest of answers, she began to feel she must get to the bottom of the mystery.
It was only when we stopped at the rectory-gate that he referred to what had passed between us and even then, he only touched on the subject in the briefest possible way. "Well?" he said. "Have I won back your old regard for me? Do you believe there is a fine side to be found in the nature of Nugent Dubourg? Man is a compound animal. You are a woman in ten thousand. Give me a kiss."
Muffled in a tcharchaf and veiled with a heavy yashmak, armed with enough Arabic for the briefest of encounters, he might dare the danger. Who in the world would discover him? Who would ever know? The thing was unthinkable. It was a desperate desecration, comparable only, in his vague analogies, to the Mecca pilgrimage and profanation of a Holy Tomb.
He would have passed quickly, with the briefest sort of recognition, but Mazie stopped him short. "Keith, oh, Keith, it isn't true, is it?" she cried breathlessly. "You aren't going to be blind?" "Mazie, how could you!" cried Dorothy sharply.
Fortunately, Miss Caroline's attention happened to be concentrated at the moment upon stirring the sugar into her second cup of tea, and by the time this was satisfactorily accomplished, the pretty colour was stealing back into the cheeks that had paled so swiftly. "I'd really no idea there were any other houses at all near mine," murmured Mrs. Hilyard, after the briefest of pauses.
