"Then you shall not like me." She struggled to free herself. "Thou art a briery little Rose," and he smiled into her eyes and kissed her. "I shall hold thee here until thou dost repent and want to stay with me. Faith is not as sweet as thou and Rachel is too old for caresses. Then I am not sure they are proper."
Guy waited to clear the path of the numerous trailing briery branches, and the others walked on, Amy telling how sorry they were to lose Guy's vacation, but that he thought he could not give time enough to his studies here, and had settled, at Oxford, to make one of a reading-party, under the tutorship of his friend, Mr. Wellwood. 'Where do they go? 'It is not settled.
Little recking, and indeed scarce knowing, where she was wandering, chance directed her into the walk beneath the Briery Bank, as it was called.
"Welcome, my fair demoiselle," said a voice whose triumph was in no degree disguised. "How shall I ever thank you for this journey you have taken to meet me? I could have made it pleasanter for you if you would have consented a little earlier. But a willful girl takes her own way, and her way is sweet to the man who loves her, no matter how briery the path may be." Jeanne Angelot was stunned.

It is very curious, of course, and ancient enough, if that were all. Doubtless, the heart of the geologist beats quicker at the sight; but, for my part, I was mightily unmoved.

The glad creek rose high above its banks and wandered from its channel out over many a briery sand-flat and meadow.
He learned that gun same as though they grew artillery wherever he came from. Briery Creek No, Briony Creek hey, Deaderick?" "Briony Creek." Stafford dropped his hand. "Who spoke?" The question had been breathed, not loudly uttered. No one answered. The gunners continued their movements about the guns, stooping, handling, lifting themselves upright.
Annie looked as if she might become a briery one at that moment, for this direct style of compliment, though honest, was not agreeable. Conscious of many struggles with evil, it was even painful, for it did her injustice in two aspects of the case. So she said, dryly, "What an automaton you make me out to be!" "How so?" "If I merely do right as the rose grows, I deserve no credit.
From the woods which skirted the carriage road a man appeared a thin, worn man, in a uniform of stained and tattered gray a man who peered from right to left, as a hunted rabbit might, then darted across the road and plunged into the briery underbrush.
