There were no endearments or caresses, naturally, but her brusk nods of greeting and farewell seemed to have real good feeling behind them. The men principals this was rather a surprise to Rose weren't nearly so pleasant nor so friendly.
"Without committing myself in any sense, I might say that you are getting off too cheaply on your most liberal proposition. You and your friends have looted a seventy-million-dollar railroad, and " "You might have stood in on that if you had taken Guilford's offer," was the brusk rejoinder. "There was more than a corporation lawyer's salary in sight, if you'd had sense enough to see it."
"Take a seat," he said, when he had finished this performance. "What can I do for you?" Roland had always imagined that editors in their private offices were less easily approached and, when approached, more brusk. The fact was that Mr. Petheram, whose optimism nothing could quench, had mistaken him for a prospective advertiser. "I want to buy the paper," said Roland.
He passed the two men as they stood in front of the bank and shouted a boisterous "hello." Adrian, ever courteous and good-natured, responded with a wave of the hand while Sherman, brusk and curt, as a habit of nature and military training, vouchsafed him a short nod. "I have small use for that fellow," he remarked to Stanley, "even less than I had for Meiggs."

She began to wonder whether Stillman would be swinging back to the city on a late boat ... or would the storm keep him at Edington's sister's home all night? She was in the midst of this speculation when Flint came into the room. "We'll eat early and have that off our minds," he announced. His manner was brusk and business-like again. Claire felt reassured.
The brusk reply was: "Why, you old fool, that's the Cabinet that is a-settin', and them thar big feet are ole Abe's." When the Ministers assembled on July twenty-second they had no intimation that this was to be a record session.
He cannot get used to the plain, brusk American type without embroidery, who just does things in his blunt, efficient way without wasting time on little exterior courtesies. None of these childish countries is man enough to see through the rough surface. Even with seven years of American example about him the Panamanian has not yet grasped the divinity of labor.
Nancy explained. He reached into his pocket, selected some bills, and gave her more money than she had ever had at one time before. "Go on back there to Malden and see your old teacher, if you like.
