The sector had been held by the New Zealanders, and was one of the quietest on the whole British front, but orders were now given to liven things up in order to keep as many enemy troops opposite the sector as possible, and distract their attention from the impending operations at Messines on the left. This object was achieved by considerable activity, patrols, and artillery bombardments.
"He challenges us all at once to fight him." "Why, the fellow's mad or an Englishman." "Yes," said Hunston, "an Englishman. That makes him feel he is a match for a mob of Greeks, and I don't know that it is all madness." Suddenly the stranger appeared to liven up. "What, you are not the police, then?" he ejaculated. "Police!" said Hunston, contemptuously turning round to the speaker.
"They're not going at anything like their pace as yet." For a quarter of a mile the canoes held the same relative position. "Now, liven up," Dick called softly. "One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!" Catching the rhythm, Dick & Co. put in some good strokes, their paddling becoming faster and stronger. A length and a half of the interval was closed up. "Porky-poo!" ordered Hartwell.
He didn't seem to be interested in my conversation, so I thought I'd liven it up a bit by saying I was a friend of Lord Ivy's. And you happened to pass, and I happened to remember Mrs. Shaw saying you looked like a British peer, so I said: 'That is my friend Lord Ivy.

Crowds of men hurrying across a harvested wheatfield or a pasture after all leave few marks of passage. A day's rain will wash away bloodstains and liven trampled vegetation. Nature hastens with a kind of contempt of man to repair the damage done by his murderous wrath. The cyclone past, the people turned out to put things in order.
Dora can sit still . . . but there ain't much fun in it I don't think. Seems to me it must be slow to be a girl. Here, Dora, let me liven you up a bit." Davy's method of "livening up" was to grasp Dora's curls in his fingers and give them a tug. Dora shrieked and then cried.
"You are good children to go and return so promptly," said Mrs. Weston, "but you are none too soon, for 'twill take a good blow with the bellows to liven up the coals, and I have a fine venison steak to broil for dinner," and as she spoke Mrs. Weston took the basket and hurried into the house, followed by the girls.
McGowan!" exclaimed Elizabeth, the color flooding her already rosy cheeks. "Captain Pott!" cried Miss Splinter. Mr. McGowan said nothing. He folded his hands behind him and looked foolish. "I thought maybe a little company might liven up the trip," observed the seaman, looking like a schoolboy who had sprung a surprise on his teacher. "Ain't you going to welcome 'em?
"Help Joe scrub paintwork," was the reply. "Me!" broke in the indignant Joe. "Scrub Look 'ere, Ben." "Pore old Joe," said the cook, who had not forgiven him for the previous night's affair. "Pore old Joe." "Don't stand gaping about," commanded the new mate. "Liven up there." "It don't want cleaning. I won't do it," said Joe, fiercely.
Wouldn't that make a good picture kinder liven up the porch if we're on it?" Roy felt a sudden impulse to protest, but he dared not yield to it. What was it this man wanted of the picture? Why had he baited a trap to get a picture of him without Beulah Rutherford knowing that he particularly wanted it? While the girl took the photograph, his mind was racing for Tighe's reason.
