"Frizzles," "furblows," and "fancy fixin's" had never helped them in their exodus across the plains; had never taken the place of swift eyes, quick ears, strong hands, and endurance; had never nursed the sick or bandaged the wounded.
Egeria's is a glory like Eve's; it is expressive, breathing a hundred delicate suggestions of herself; not tortured into frizzles, or fringes, or artificial shapes, but winding its lustrous lengths about her head, just high enough to show the beautiful nape of her neck, "where this way and that the little lighter-coloured irreclaimable curls run truant from the knot, curls, half curls, root curls, vine ringlets, wedding-rings, fledgling feathers, tufts of down, blown wisps, all these wave, or fall, or stray, loose and downward in the form of small, silken paws, hardly any of them thicker than a crayon shading, cunninger than long, round locks of gold to trick the heart."
A gust of wind lifted the frizzles on Dinah's forehead, but that was all. "O dee, dee, dee! you don't hear nuffin 't all, Diny," said Flyaway the only sensible remark she had made that day. It was of no use talking to Dinah; so she began to talk to herself. "What you matter, Flywer Clifford?" said she, scowling to keep her courage up. "What you matter?"
"No," Bessie interposed. "What do you mean?" "At home in my town," said Mr. Belcovitch impressively, "a fish made a noise in the pan one Friday." "Well? and suppose?" said the Shalotten Shammos, passing a fig to the rear, "the oil frizzles." "Nothing of the kind," said Belcovitch angrily, "A real living noise. The woman snatched it out of the pan and ran with it to the Rabbi.
"The ole woman means," she said, looking him steadily in the eye, "that you are dealin' in chile slavery, law or no law; that you're down heah preachin' one thing for niggahs an' practisin' another for yo' own race; that yo' hair frizzles on yo' head at tho'rt of niggah slavery, whilst all the time you are enslavin' the po' little whites that's got yo' own blood in their veins.
And then some more childern, and wimmen, and dogs, and parasols, and men, and babies, and Injuns, and Frenchmen, and old young wimmen, and young old ones, and handsome ones, and hombly ones, and parasols, and some sweet young girls ag'in, and some black men, and some white men, and some more wimmen, and parasols, and silk, and velvet, and lace, and puckers, and raffles, and gethers, and gores, and flowers, and feathers, and fringes, and frizzles, and then some men, some Southerners from the South, some Westerners from the West, some Easterners from the East, and some Cubebs from Cuba, and some Chinamen from China.
"Why?" cried Mrs. Trapes bitterly, "I'll tell you why because me an' Hermy an' every one else is bein' squeezed dry t' fill the pockets of a thing as calls itself a man a thievin' beast on two legs as is suckin' our blood, gnawin' our flesh, grindin' the life out of us a great fat man as is treadin' us down under his great boots, down an' down to slavery death an' worse it's such men as him as keeps the flames of hell goin' fat frizzles well, an' so will Mulligan, I hope!"
"Ah!" said the student, "you too are nothing but a bird, a screech-owl, that frizzles toupees, Herr Conrector!" "What! I a bird? screech-owl, a frizzler?" cried the Conrector, full of indignation; "Sir, you are mad, born mad!" "But the crone will get a clutch of him," cried Registrator Heerbrand.
She found Fanny enduring torment under the hands of the hair-dresser, who was doing his best to spoil her hair, and distort her head with a mass of curls, braids, frizzles, and puffs; for though I discreetly refrain from any particular description, still, judging from the present fashions, I think one may venture to predict that six years hence they would be something frightful.
The buff, white and dominique colors, unheard of in wild species, frizzles with their feathers all awry, the Polish with their deformed skulls and the sooty fowls whose skin and bones are black, are some of the remarkable characters that have sprung up and been preserved under domestication.
