It was curls that couldn't be shook out and a nose that dassen't be sunburned and shoes that mustn't be scuffed and a dress that shouldn't be mussed, from the day she was born. Ye couldn't jist honest say she had ever had a FAIR chance, now could ye?" "No," said Linda conclusively, "no, Katherine O'Donovan, you could not. But what are we up against? Does she want to come back?
He was holding her hand and it might well be to-night. Linda decided that he would do it delicately; and when, almost immediately, he kissed her, she was undisturbed. No, surprisingly, it had been quite pleasant. He hadn't mussed her ribbons, nor her spirit, a particle. In addition he did not at once become impossible and urgently sentimental; there was even a shade of amusement on his heavy face.
"I thought mebbe you mout 'a' moved," said Tallow Dick mildly. "'Twouldn't never do fur me an' Bill yere to be totin' de remains to de wrong address. Been my experience dat nothin' ain't mo' onwelcome at a strange house 'en a daid nigger, especially one dat's about six feet two inches long an' all mussed up wid fresh mule tracks." "Huh!
He stared after her almost resentfully, feeling all mussed up, somehow, and inadequate; as if here had been a situation that he had failed signally to make the most of. He sat there for the next half-hour gloomily thinking up things he might have said to her.
Festing thought this unlikely, in view of the fellow's distance from the explosion, but could not be certain he was not struck. "I'm sorry if you got hurt," he said. "You ought to have heard the whistle." "Anyhow, I didn't. You want to stop shooting rocks when there are men around. Then you've mussed up the track and can't put her straight. Why don't you hire more boys and rush the job?
"Work to do. Kuroki will be at your service through the night, Miss Frances. Strike that Burmese gong once, at any hour. Come along, Harrison." "Want any company?" asked Harrison, with a belligerent twist to his moustache. Cutty laughed. "No. You run along to your lambs. I'm running with the wolves to-night, old scout, and you might get that spick-and-span uniform considerably mussed up.
I got it!" cried Margy, as she sat down on the sidewalk in front of the fruit stand. The kitten was a soft, furry one, but it was rather mussed and bedraggled now, from the way Margy had mauled it. And the little Bunker girl was rather tousled herself, for there was not much room underneath the stand where she had crawled. "Oh, my dear Margy!" cried Mrs. Bunker. "You are such a sight!"
"You must not wear the same thing twice running," she said; "not if you can help it." I could not imagine why not. "It is quite nice enough," I urged. "It is scarcely the least mussed in the world." "People will think you have not another, my dear." "What matter would that be?" I said, wholly puzzled. "Now, my dear Daisy!" said Mrs.
Jane now looked up as, with a delighted laugh, the Colonel leaned back; while Brent, in pretended irritation, mussed the chess men in disorder over the board. "Fifteen moves, sir!" the old gentleman cried. "That's a beat you'll not forget!" "It's the worst I ever had," Brent admitted. "You can't do it again!" "I'll bet you I can, sir," the old gentleman declared, then whispering, "after a julep!"
Why, because he knows we've located his hiding, and will get him if he remains. You reckon I've mussed things up." He shook his head. "He was well-nigh safe up there on Labrador and I knew it. We had to get him out of it. Well, I've got him out. He's bolted like a gopher, and it's up to me to locate him. I shall locate him. I'm glad he's quit that hellish country.
