He wasn't so ugly jist ornery. His daddy died; his mother lived on a little place in town, up-crick from the bridge. Ugly wasn't a roarin' success as a producer jist idled and fuddled until he got to be a man. Then he got indicted with others fer robbin' a little tannery that was operatin' down the crick. This tannery was mostly out of doors.
"I am getting fuddled," said the Angel. "What is it you want to make you happy?" His dragoman sat up: "If I am right," he purred, "in my view that happiness is absorption, our problem is to direct men's minds to absorption in right and pleasant things. An American making a corner in wheat is absorbed and no doubt happy, yet he is an enemy of mankind, for his activity is destructive.
Brought up in a provincial household with few friends or visitors, hardly ever invited to a ball, she had fuddled her mind, in the solitude of her old manor-house, over setting the pace, now crawling-slow, now passionate, whirling, breathless, for all those imaginary waltzing couples, gathering them like flowers, leaving the ball-room for a moment to listen, where the wind sighed among the pine-trees, on the shore of the lake, and seeing of a sudden advancing towards her, more different from anything one had ever dreamed of than earthly lovers are, a slender young man, whose voice was resonant and strange and false, in white gloves.
In a wild fury of arrogance and terror, of conflicting vice and virtue, he pressed on to Hockcliffe, where he took refuge from the rain, and presently, fuddled with more brandy, he fell asleep over the kitchen fire.
Huge eaters and huger drinkers, fuddled with ale, were the men who went down at Hastings though they went down like heroes before the staid and sober Norman out of France. But those were fearful times.
The Tolaeth, a creature never seen, but that groans, sings, saws, or stamps noisily. The Dogs of the Sky. All witches, of every sort and kind. All peddlers of horseshoes, crosses, charms, or amulets. All mortals with brains fuddled by liquor. All who had on shoes which water would not run under. All fairies that were accustomed to turn mortals into cheese.
Fettes was far through his third tumbler, stupidly fuddled, now nodding over, now staring mazily around him; but at the last word he seemed to awaken, and repeated the name "Macfarlane" twice, quietly enough the first time, but with sudden emotion at the second. "Yes," said the landlord, "that's his name, Doctor Wolfe Macfarlane."
Then come the denouement, and a grand tableau: lady very much grieved and astonished wife, who has known nothing of her husband's tricks, exceedingly bewildered fuddled husband, blind with rum and remorse, owns up to his meanness and duplicity. Moral: Women should not help poor people without going to see them, and finding out whether they lie.
In the very thought of Stephen, with his cynical humour, his clear, keen mind, his lazy power of brain, Nan had found relief all that day, reacting desperately from a mind fuddled with sentiment and emotion as with drink, a soft, ignorant brain, which knew and cared about nothing except people, a hysterical passion of anger and malice.
Pelle saw that his father was quickly becoming more fuddled, and ought to be put to bed for fear some one should come and find him lying there. "Come now, father!" he begged. "Yes, I'll go now. I'll make him pay for it, if it's old Beelzebub himself! You needn't cry!" Lasse was making for the yard. Pelle stood in front of him. "Now you must come with me, father!
