The so-called "Drawidian" populations of Southern Hindostan lead us back, physically as well as geographically, towards the Australians; while the diminutive MINCOPIES of the Andaman Islands lie midway between the Negro and Negrito races, and, as Mr. Busk has pointed out, occasionally present the rare combination of Brachycephaly, or short-headedness, with woolly hair.
"Busk thee and make ready; he is at livery even now." The groom's words fell upon Myles like a blow. He stood for a while staring wide-eyed. "My Lord speak with me, sayst thou!" he ejaculated at last. "Aye," said the other, impatiently; "get thee ready quickly. I must return anon." Myles's head was in a whirl as he hastily changed his clothes for a better suit, Gascoyne helping him.
Busk, not yet. Surely we are not quite reduced to such a hopeless pass as that. My father knew what the police were worth, and so does Betsy, and so does Major Hockin. 'Pompous noodles, the Major calls them, who lay hold of every thing by the wrong end." "Then if he can lay hold of the right end, miss, what better could you do than consult him?"
"Yonder are the horses now. They come presently. Busk thee with thy letter, friend Myles." The attendants who passed through the anteroom now came and went more hurriedly, and Myles knew that the Earl must be about to come forth.
Come, busk ye, lads," and he turned quickly away. "Get ye ready straightway." Then gathering the score together in a close rank, in the midst of which were Allan a Dale and Friar Tuck, he led them forth upon their way from the forest shades.

"`Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie bride!" sang Hatty. "Look what I've found, just now, in the garret! Oh yes, Miss Caroline, you can look too." "Hatty, if you don't give me that book this minute !" cried I. "I did think I had hidden it out of search of your prying fingers." "Dear, yes, and of my bright eyes, I feel no doubt," laughed Hatty.
Busk told me that Sharpey had noticed the appearance of numerous Infusoria in one of the solutions not containing any nitrogen; and I do not suppose that any physiologist would admit the possibility of Infusoria absorbing nitrogen gas. Possibly I ought not to have mentioned statements made in private conversation, so please do not repeat them.
The same thing, under precisely the same name, figured in the toilets of our grandmothers, and hence, probably, the Scotch use of the verb to busk, or attire." Miss Louisa Stuart Costello in 'Bearn and the Pyrenees. A custom which then existed in certain parts of France. It was taken by the French emigrants to Canada, where it existed not long ago.
Do thou all this, and then busk the winsome wedding-feast, that is honourable among both men and immortal Gods."
"Nay, God-a-mercy, wench, it were hard to deny thee time to busk thy body clothes, since the request is the only words like a woman that thou hast uttered for these ten days. Truly, son Harry, I would my daughter would put off being entirely a saint till the time comes for her being canonised for St. Catherine the Second."
