Where did you learn it?" At this Priscilla doubled over with laughter but managed to say: "Why, it means just doshed! Haven't you ever wanted to be doshed, mother, when you were young, and before father took the dosh out of you?" Theodora was again overcome by former fears, and to confirm her terror Priscilla sprang toward her with outstretched, gripping fingers and wide, eager eyes.

"You have not seen him?" she looked upward. "No. I was getting up my courage.

That was the most unsanctified word I ever heard. What does it mean?
