It happened at times not in my barest days, but in those of decent poverty that some one in the house where I lodged played the piano and how it rejoiced me when this came to pass! I say "played the piano" a phrase that covers much.
There was the barest second of waiting, in which the long arms tightened, and the great body of his assailant hung heavily about him; then he dug spurs into the horse's flanks and the animal leaped forward with a snort of rage, jumped out of the path and tore away through the woods. Oscar's whole strength was taxed to hold his seat as the burly figure thumped against the horse's flanks.
Close in under the stern of the gunboat, slightly to starboard, stole the "Pollard." Jack, balancing himself, made a cast of the line. The iron bolt shot up, past the stern flagstaff, then down into the water astern again. With the gunboat lying to, the submarine could move only with the barest headway.
"Yes, my child, they have gone at last." "And what have they left us?" inquired Mrs. Morton somewhat anxiously. "Nothing but the barest necessaries for housekeeping." "They did not take our carpets and " "Yes, Mary," said Mr. Morton interrupting her, "every article in the parlors has been set down as unnecessary."

The life led by Coleridge during the six years next ensuing is difficult to trace, even in the barest outline; to give a detailed and circumstantial account of it from any ordinarily accessible source of information is impossible.
Thither, then, he bent his steps, seeming, as he went, to float above the pavement; and there, in the mouth of the entry, he found a man in a sleeved waistcoat, gravely chewing a straw. He passed him by, and twice patrolled the entry, scouting for the barest chance; but the man had faced about and continued to observe him curiously. Another hope was gone.
"All that is very true," replied the policeman, who seemed to have thought of everything; "and I don't deny that there is just the barest possibility in the world that you're right.
