In such tantalising weather the "ground-swell" of the ocean usually carries past a becalmed vessel more waste energy than is ever utilised by its sails in the briskest and most propitious breeze.
The poor, frightened old woman at last forgot her fears; and, even Eliza, as the night waned, found all her anxieties insufficient to keep her eyes from closing. Phineas seemed, on the whole, the briskest of the company, and beguiled his long drive with whistling certain very unquaker-like songs, as he went on.
The plane was sending the shavings flying their briskest when he came to a dead stop at something black which was moving along the plank. It was a large and hideous fly which was crawling about and feeling and poking all the planks in the boat. When it reached the lowest keel-board it whirred with its wings and buzzed.
Halfman had not been so happy since his return to England, not even in the briskest days of the siege, as he was now in the staging of this lawless comedy. The old pirate jigged in him at this fair maid's strategy. "By St. Nicholas," he swore, "they should be bled white for a brace of knaves! This, I take it, is your other honor-bankrupt atomy."
"You know more about it than I, boy," he said, "and whatever you think is wise shall be done." Harran touched the bays with the whip, urging them to their briskest pace. They were not yet at Annixter's and he was anxious to get back to the ranch house to supervise the blue-stoning of his seed. "By the way, Governor," he demanded suddenly, "how is Lyman getting on?"

Many of the passengers were considerable merchants at Lima, and the briskest Spaniards I ever saw.
Of her Onund had a son called Thorgrim; he was early a big man, and a strong, wise, and good withal in matters of husbandry. Onund dwelt on at Coldback till he was old, then he died in his bed, and is buried in Treefoot's barrow; he was the briskest and lithest of one-footed men who have ever lived in Iceland.
The next week was a week of trouble for Maida. Everything seemed to go wrong from the first tinkle of the bell, Monday morning, to the last tinkle Saturday night. It began with a conversation. Rosie came marching in early Monday, head up, eyes flaming. “Maida,” she began at once, in her quickest, briskest tone, “I’ve got something to tell you.
The people were almost numberless who grew into the habit of stopping at the little box, to be waited on by the briskest and sharpest of boys to delicious coffee and cookies, or as the days grew warmer to a glass of iced lemonade, or a saucer of glowing strawberries.
"I hate to disappoint you girls," he said, "but I've got to play a lone hand in this thing." "No such thing," said Peggy in her briskest tones; "what if anything happened to you? Who would run the machine if we weren't along?" "That's quite true, Roy," struck in Jess, "and besides if if anything has gone wrong with Jimsy who has a better right to be near him than I?" Roy looked perplexed.
