Aunt Madge remembered Horace's hit-or-miss way of using things, and thought of the elephant that once walked into a china shop. Grace laughed aloud. "Why, Horace Clifford, you'd make the room look like everything; you know you would! O, auntie, you ought to see how he musses up my cabinet! I have to hide the key; I do so!"
She might not have heard this from the way she sat, looking down and thinking. "I suppose," she said at last, "that all men's lives are shabby musses. You may think me unkind, but without a shadow of doubt you would have made her unhappy, too. You are that type." "I'm very much obliged to you," he murmured.
"How beautiful you are, Rosa," said she, "only it makes me shiver to look at your neck and arms. You'll wear your woollen sack, besides your shawl and cloak, won't you?" "Nonsense, I'm not going to be bundled up this way, for don't you see it musses the lace," said Rose, refusing the warm sack which Jenny brought her.
Besides, their children are all exceptions. You can't make anything out of exceptions, there are too many of them. If you let them in, it just musses up the Science. The best way is to keep them out." "But their mothers like them," said Miss Muffet. "Yes; they think that they are the nicest kind."
It is as if you had thrown a large sheet over a mass of men and made them anonymous. The man who raises new issues has always been distasteful to politicians. He musses up what had been so tidily arranged. I remember once speaking to a local boss about woman suffrage.

"I uster try onct," she said tonelessly, "but it ain't no good, no more. Ella an' Bennie an' Jim don' care. An' Pa he musses up th' flat whenever he comes inter it. An' Lily can't see how it looks. So what's th' use?"
"I'll warrant that you'll see as many musses as you'll care to mix in." "Then, Australia, thou art my home," cried Fred, with a theatrical wave of his hand, as though bidding adieu to the Golden State forever.

We used to tell things about stole property, and about family troubles, and so we sometimes used to get folks into musses, but we don’t do nothin’ of that kind now. If your business is about any kind of muss and trouble in your family we don’t want nothin’ to do with it.
"Dats way dey do," she mummled as she lead the visitor inside the cottage, through the dining-room and kitchen into the living-room and bedroom. "Don know what I gwine do when come summer time. Keeps me all time lookin out for dem chilluns. Dey's dat troublesome. Brings trash in on my flo what I jes scoured, an musses 'roun, maybe tryin to steal sumpin an me watchin em too.
