briony

When romancing the dewy Briony, the cosmopolitan New Yorker Andrew sounds like the creepy European Humbert Humbert.

The claspers of briony shoot into the spiral, and lay hold of whatever comes in their way, for support.

To-day there was neither gravedigger nor robin—only the soft drip, drip of the rain on dock and thistle, fern and briony.

In its perfect state, it feeds on the blossom of the briony.

All which like other impostures once discovered is easily effected, and in the root of white Briony may be practised every spring.

I got a blow on the head in a saw mill on Briony Creek and it made me just as useless as a bit of pith.
