grist

One could not help but applaud, even if the goal was grist to the glory-mill of the Dear Leader.

Adrian, for whom there was no more work that afternoon, proposed to Roger that they take a walk to Truem Wright's grist mill.

A good saw mill on the bank of the river five miles above, a grist mill worked by hand, but intended to work by water.

Of course, I found a grist of men there, and they wouldn't let me go.

The mood represented the grist of much subtle effort, comparing, adjustment, and readjustment.

So powerful is this incentive that sometimes the wheel will continue to turn round when there is no grist to grind.
