She were the smartest, most managing woman in these parts, and I never did have no faculty, and don't run her house like I ought; and John is a puny man and not able to do all her bidding; and the young uns they gits terrible noisy and feisty at times, all but Evy."
"And John Cable's sulkin' around with his nose out o' jint," interjected "Doc." "Feisty," proceeded the interpreter, "feisty means when a feller's allers wigglin' about, wantin' ever'body to see him, like a kid when the preacher comes. You know a feist is one o' them little bitty dogs that ginerally runs on three legs and pretends a whole lot." All of us were indignant at the setter of the trap.
"Seems like we'd hev heered of ther other stranger from some source or other," mused Hump.

Ef I'm goin' ter be accountable, I'm likewise goin' ter be accounted to!
But when my outfit was ready to start, Runt Pickett, the feisty little rascal, had about twenty dollars in his possession which he insisted on gambling away before leaving town. Runt was comfortably drunk, and as Bob urged humoring him, I gave my consent, provided he would place it all at one bet, to which Pickett agreed.
Coaly, old boy! you-uns won't be so feisty and brigaty after this, will ye!" "John, what do those two words mean?" "Good la! whar was you fotch up? Them's common.

"There isn't that nice?" inquired Johnnie, turning her companion around to the glass and forcing her to gaze in it a thing Mandy always instinctively avoided. "I reckon I've looked worse," agreed the tall woman unenthusiastically; "but Miss Lyddy ain't carin' to have ye fix up much. I get sort of feisty and want to dav-il her by makin' you look pretty.
Presently I could distinguish the different notes: the deep bellow of old Dred, the hound-like baying of Rock and Coaly, and little Towse's feisty yelp.
