In the mix-up the dusselboom had been broken. He demanded a new dusselboom.
That is mutual extermination, where victory belongs only to survivors; for in the mix-up and confusion, no one can flee, no one knows where to flee.

As I have intimated, I must bring Bucks to terms on my own account before I turn him over to you and the people of the State.
"Only we hope to find something more important than a key now. I hope they've had use for a cell key in connection with that mix-up at Mare Island Navy Yard."

"I paid the two years of interest just a few minutes before that horrid old mortgage was due, so Uncle Josiah would not have to lose his place." "Gosh!" was the inelegant reply. "You're a brick!" His brow puckered. "Won't that save him?" she asked with concern. "Sure. But how did you know that Uncle Josiah was a party to this mix-up?" "Father told me that."
