   Peart \Peart\, a. [A variant of pert, a.]
      Active; lively; brisk; smart; -- often applied to
      convalescents; as, she is quite peart to-day. [O. Eng. &
      Colloq. U. S.]
  
               There was a tricksy girl, I wot, albeit clad in gray,
               As peart as bird, as straight as bolt, as fresh as
               flowers in May.                                       --Warner
                                                                              (1592).
