Whisk out
Hi,
Can someone tell me what "whisk out" mean here? Does it mean that she threw them out of the eco-lodge? or the opposite?
On the morning that the Honduran president was deposed, Flavia Cueva roused a wedding party of 30 and whisked them out of her jungle eco-resort. Still hazy from the previous night’s party, the group made a hasty exit.

Yes, she threw them out. "Whisk" is a verb associated with a broom, and (at least in the US) a handleless broom used to sweep counters, etc. " So, she swept them out with a quick, brisk, easy motion (as opposed to "she heaved them out" or "she forced them out").
