plies

An odd feature of the church is the little shop built in the base of the tower, where a tobacconist now plies his trade.

Again the man stops at my door, his head turning right and left, the while he diligently plies the duster.

His back turned toward me, head bent, he hurriedly plies the broom with the quick, short stroke of the one-armed sweeper.

He's as gleg as M'Keachen's elshin, that ran through sax plies o' bend-leather into the king's heel.

From Portland to Salem the capital city, a steamer plies the fifty miles of waterway.
