"I've wondered how you became so very Canadian," she said thoughtfully. "What's the matter with the Canadians?" "Nothing. I haven't met very many yet, but on the whole I'm favorably impressed by them. They're direct, blunt, perhaps less complex than we are." "No trimmings," he suggested. "They don't muss up good material so that it can hardly be recognized.
"Yes, sah he say he name be Muss" probably Jaap's defective manner of repeating some Indian sound; "and a proper muss he get in, Masser Corny, when he try to cotch Jaap by he wool!"
I ain't a-goin' to add to the muss. Well, here we be, an' there's the key. I've come here alone time an' time again an' never felt the creeps a-doin' it afore to-day. But my suz! I wouldn't ha' come now without you to keep me comp'ny, not for anything." "That's flattering! Am I so brave, then?" asked the girl, giving the housekeeper a sudden little hug. "Yes, you be. But, my suz!
"Because they were no-account trash themselves!" returned Ware, shaking his head. "We'll all go down in this muss you're fixing for!" he added. "No, you won't, Tom. I'll look out for my friends. You'll be warned in time." "A hell of a lot of good a warning will do!" growled Ware. "The business will be engineered so that you, and those like you, will not be disturbed.
"For God's sake, Mr. Ward," he cried, "be merciful. I was led into this by Theriere. He lied to me just as he did to the men. You can't kill me it would be murder they'd hang you for it." "We'll hang for this muss you got us into anyway, if we're ever caught," growled the mate.
Nevertheless, as before, the calm look which he saw on the Girl's face reassured him. Advancing once more towards her, he stretched out his arms as if to gather her in them. "Look out, you'll muss my roses!" she cried, waving him back and dodging Wowkle who, having cleared the table, was now making her last trip to the cupboard.
"Dick hims always heat well an' keep well. Once me was be sick. Dick him say to me, `Heat. Me say, `No want heat. Hims say, `You muss heat. So me try; an' sure 'nuff, get well to-morrow." March laughed at this prompt and effectual remedy for disease, and said, "Well, I'll try. Perhaps it will cure me, especially if you feed me."
The engineer assured the queer fellow that he had no desire to eat since it was late when he left home. "How'd you come in the creek?" Should he tell the true story to this deformed fellow, who had befriended him? Could there be any harm in it? "Speak right out, young man. You've been into a muss of some sort, and I sympathise with you." "I am glad to hear you say that."
Crestfallen, and having in mind the dictum of the great Lessing: 'Kein mensch muss muessen, I again took in hand maps and guidebooks. At this stage of affairs came to aid the voiturier who had gallantly proposed to drive us to the top of the Lozerien Helvellyn, provided we could sit on a knifeboard. He was one of the handsomest men we saw in these parts, which is saying a good deal.
She thought it would be well to sprinkle a slight layer of dirt over them; and I, indulgently, consented. It occurred to me, when she had gone, that beans always come up that way, wrong end first; and that what they wanted was light, and not dirt. Observation.
