He had expected a brief gust of rage and then a sweeping retreat.

One shutter creaked and swung partly across the window with a brief gust of warm air.

Thunder mumbled to the east of them, and the breeze kicked up a brief gust.

She sounded so disgusted a brief gust of laughter was expelled as I bent from one side to the other.

It could have been a wisp of snow carried on a brief gust of wind.

The brief gusts of wind seem colder as well.

A brief gust of wind as cold as winter puffed at her with the broken glass, then stopped.

The wind was blowing in their faces: brief hard gusts, a sting of sand.

During the night he had expected the stunsails to carry away at times as occasional but brief gusts came up astern without warning.

Leaves shook in a brief windless gust, and that was further off still.
