They were like the Nithesdale hoods of Hogarth's prints, but smaller.

Both show the wooden contour of figure, which was either the fault of the artist's brush or of the iron busk of the wearer's stays.
Busk ye for the fight, and briskly too, for when Harald Haarfager lifts his hand he is not slow to strike. Where is Alric?" "Here I am, father." "Hast fed well, boy?" "Aye, famously," answered Alric, wiping his mouth and tightening his belt. "Take the war-token, my son, and see that thou speed it well. Let it not fail for want of a messenger.
In this anxiety for news I begged that my letters might be forwarded under cover to the postmistress at Shoxford, and bearing my initials. For now I had made up my mind to let Mrs. Busk know whatever I could tell her. I had found her a cross and well-educated woman, far above her neighbors, and determined to remain so.
Now is the rain upon the day, And every water's wide; Why busk ye then to wear the way, And whither will ye ride? He singeth. Our kine are on the eyot still, The eddies lap them round; All dykes the wind-worn waters fill, And waneth grass and ground. She singeth. O ride ye to the river's brim In war-weed fair to see? Or winter waters will ye swim In hauberks to the knee? He singeth.
Busk was delighted at her departure, for she never had liked to be criticised so keenly while she was doing her very best. And as soon as the wheels of Betsy's fly had shown their last spoke at the corner, she told me, with a smile, that her mind had been made up to give us notice that very evening to seek for better lodgings.

Notwithstanding the noise which she had just heard at the door, Cecily did not the less tranquilly continue her undressing; she drew from her corsage, where it was placed like a busk, a dirk, five or six inches long, in a case of black shagreen, with a handle of black ebony fastened with silver, a very simple handle, but perfectly handy, not a weapon of mere display.
Busk; "otherwise how could he grind at all, when the river is so low as it is sometimes?" "Then I know what he wanted, and I will take a leaf out of his own book the miscreant! He wanted the miller to stop back the water and leave the pool dry at the 'Murder-bridge. Would it be possible for him to do that?" "I can not tell you, miss; but your thought is very clever.
When we threw our nets into the water we caught an abundance of sturgeons, and another kind of fish like our trout, except that the eyes and nose are much smaller, and they have near the nose a bone like a woman's busk, three inches broad and a foot and a half long, the end of which is flat and broad, and when it leaps out of the water the weight of it throws it on its back.
+209+. As with other religious observances, so with purificatory ceremonies the tendency is to mass and organize them they are made to occur at regular times and under fixed conditions, as in the Christian Lent, the Moslem Ramadan, and the Creek Busk.
