This arose in part from his lax views about religion; for at this time that old war of the creeds and confessors, which is always grumbling from end to end of our poor Scotland, brisked up in these parts into a hot and virulent skirmish; and Burns found himself identified with the opposition party, a clique of roaring lawyers and half-heretical divines, with wit enough to appreciate the value of the poet's help, and not sufficient taste to moderate his grossness and personality.
As I was devouring the child with last kisses, it brisked up and jabbered out its vocabulary! the first time in more than two weeks, and it made fools of us for joy. The darling mispronunciations of childhood! dear me, there's no music that can touch it; and how one grieves when it wastes away and dissolves into correctness, knowing it will never visit his bereaved ear again.
They brisked up when they heard this offer. A small tree with dark green leaves stood close by, from which they tore some branches, and quickly made out a rude litter. On to this they lifted my poor old friend, and so carried him off, renewing his groans at every step. I marched alongside till we caught up with the rear of the column.
As soon as the bacon was well under way, and Millie, her lymphatic aid, had been brisked up a bit by a few deftly chosen expressions of contempt, she carried the cloth, plates, and glasses into the parlour and began to lay them with the utmost eclat.
The Boy, on a sudden impulse, reached out and lifted the flap. "Got your bandage on? Come here." Nig brisked in with the air of one having very little time to waste. "Lord!

"But this will not be the finish," said I; "the dogs are not howling," and at that old Betty brisked herself. "Yess, yess, the dogs will not be greeting Belle, woman, and that is a sure sign," said she, wonderfully cheered. "Bryde will be coming back a great man, and bringing old Betty a silk dress and good whisky yess." "Where is Fowey, Hamish?" said Margaret.
Amelia and me took a turn by ourselves, and when we got back to Teesdale's farm, there was Jenny, wonderfully brisked up, talking and laughing away with young Wheeler, whose father keeps the post-office.
As I brisked out of bed the following morning at half-after six, I could not but wonder rather nervously what the day might have in store for me. I was obliged to admit that what I was in for looked a bit thick. As I opened my door I heard stealthy footsteps down the hall and looked out in time to observe Cousin Egbert entering his own room. It was not this that startled me.
"No one will know. And even if they do, I'm leaving, and it won't matter." And so she pulled her hat further over her face, and brisked up her steps in the direction of the BRAUSTRASSE a street which she disliked, and never entered if she could avoid it.
"Why, you don't have to talk 'bout foreign parts or else keep still, do ye?" "Oh, it's just so 'bout everythin'. We heard she'd been in Washington last winter, so Eben he brisked up and tried her on politics.
