Note
The superlative usually follows the or a possessive, as in the frankest answer or her frankest interview. Today it ranks candor, or, in clinical writing, how unmistakably a sign shows itself. In older texts, where frank could also mean free, generous or loose, the frankest host may simply be the most generous one, so the date of the writing matters.
