Now poor Thumbling was in trouble, but trouble sharpens the wits, and he sprang out so adroitly between the blows that none of them touched him, and he escaped with a whole skin. But still he could not get away, there was nothing for it but to let himself be thrust into a black-pudding with the bits of bacon.
But in an instant the disturbing undulations pass, the air steadies, the image shrinks and sharpens, and two points of piercing brightness, almost touching one another, dart into sight, the more brilliant one being surrounded by an evanescent circle, a tiny ripple of light, which, as it runs round the star and then recedes, alternately embraces and releases the smaller companion.

It sharpens up the young wits to be pitted against the older ones, and it well, it burnishes the elder rapiers and keeps them keen." "All right, this is your party," agreed Charlotte, and she went back to her duties.
Grief sharpens the senses; it is as though everything were more sharply graven on the vision after tears have washed away the dim traces of memory.
