"Mussy me!" she ejaculated upon seeing us. "Hyere's two folks as has got lost in this hyere forest, an' is plum tired out an' powerful hongry," explained her husband. "Mussy me!" she repeated, eyeing my blue coat askance, and regarding Father Friday with suspicious wonder. She had never seen a uniform like that long black cassock. To which side did he belong, Federal or Confederate?
All the Land Birds belong to one or more of these guilds; but perhaps we shall find before we are through that some of the Water Birds have a guild of Sea Sweepers." For a few minutes the children scribbled away in silence. "My book will be very mussy," said Dodo, "for I can't write well when I sit all humped up on a branch."
Then the bathroom wouldn't be mussy all the time." "Beds?" "Right here. Isn't that wonderful. Would you ever know it was there? You can work it with one hand. Look." "Do you really like it, Coral?"

She had the roses carefully pinned in tissue-paper to protect them from the cold; her long, blue cloak swept about her in graceful folds, she wore a blue hat with a long, blue feather.

"I shall put it in a safe place," replied Maria, smiling.
Not many people were on the streets when the sheriff passed through the suburbs of the little town, for it was about the breakfast hour. One stout old negro mammy stopped to stare in surprise at his bloody head. "Laws a mussy, Mistah Flatray, what they done be'n a-doin' to you-all?" she asked. The sheriff hardly saw her. He was chewing the bitter cud of defeat and was absorbed in his thoughts.
"We took our places in the carriage in the dark, both of us covered with a pile of packages, and Mary Hann so sulky that she would not speak for some minutes. At last she spoke out "'Have you all the small parcels? "'Twenty-three in all, says I. "'Then give me baby. "'Give you what? says I. "'Give me baby. "'What, haven't y-y-yoooo got him? says I. "O Mussy! You should have heard her sreak!
"Missy," he said earnestly, "ef dat young gelmun fall in love wid you, w'ich I knows he will ef he ketch sight er you, lemme say dis, an' please fo' to ba'h in mine: better have nuttin' do wid him fo' he own sake; an' 'bove all, keep him fur sway f'um dese p'emises. Don' let him come in a mild er dis house." "Nelson, was that all the quarrel between them?" "Blessed Mussy! ain' dat 'nough?
I seem to learn slowly. If I fall behind, I shall lose my place sooner or later. It was that way with the last place I had. If you interfered, you'd only injure me. I've had experience. And I must not lose my place." One of the scrub women thrust her mussy head and ragged, shapeless body in at the door.
Ye ar-re mussy at th' table, an' ye have no religion. But ye ar-re whelps iv th' ol' line. Those iv ye that ar-re not our brothers-in-law we welcome as brothers. Ye annoy us so much ye must be mimbers iv our own fam'ly.
