ready-witted

One of the guests was, without exception, the most ready-witted man I ever met.

Barney was shrewd and ready-witted, while Hans, for all of his speech and his blundering ways, was much brighter than he appeared.

Scotty was a comical chap, very ready-witted, and we had arranged that he should do all the talking.

"We've been married seven years, Olly," said the quick-eared and ready-witted Arthur.

He was quick, ready-witted, self-reliant, and not over scrupulous in the outward things of the world.
