Ruefully I gazed at the grimy cuffs of my blouse, and felt of my dishevelled hair. "Oh, I'm afraid I can't go. I look so mussy. Haven't had time to brush up."
"How do you like us dressed alike?" Phyllis inquired cheerfully. "Your hair's mussy," Mrs. "Why don't you braid it?" "Oh, but it's so much more becoming this way," laughed Phyllis. "Fiddlesticks!" The word seemed to terminate the interview, for after it was uttered Mrs. "Good night, Grandmother," Janet said softly, but Phyllis lingered long enough to ask, "Are you quite comfy, dear?
"If you'll excuse me," said the mother, and went upstairs. "Oh! mussy! mussy! yo' foot a-mashing my whole breas' in'! Oh, my Gawd! De Yankees 'll git win' o' dis an' you'll go to jail!"

A moment later when a tall man came up the path and dropped on the top porch step with an air of being entirely at home, Mrs. Carew was still dreaming, half-awake and half-asleep.

So saying, Dick went to screw the hose on the valve once more, muttering and talking to himself the while, and ever and again slapping one of his legs and bursting into a series of chuckles. "Lor' a mussy me," he said; "and how I argyed with Mr Roberts there about the niggers not being clean. Why that's what put it into his precious head. I wonder what they looks like to-day, after their washing."
Everybody is squatting about on scant corners and ledges waiting for the eight o'clock bell. I squat next the thrifty Spanish lady, whereat she immediately begins telling me the story of her life. “You married?” she asks. No. “Well don' you do it,” says the fat and mussy Espaniole, as the girls called her. “I marry man—five years, all right.
"Ay, they do, my boy; but folks don't get all they deserve." "Or I should be punished for letting that boy steal the rope." "Hang the rope!" he said crustily. "I mean, hang the boy or his father, and that's what some of 'em'll come to," he cried grimly, "if they don't mind. They're a bad lot down that court. Lor' a mussy me!
I have come in at night with my eyes fairly aching from spying for rhinos during a day's journey through high grass. And, as a friend remarked, rhinos are such a mussy death.
