She danced away down the hall, Helen following her, feeling extremely old and prim. Grandma Armstrong's bedroom was at the back of the house overlooking the orchard and kitchen-garden. She was sitting up in bed, a very handsome little old lady in cap and ribbons. She gave the strange girl's hand a gentle pressure. "Here she is, Muzzy," cried Miss Annabel in an apologetic tone.
The next instant a groan broke from his clenched teeth. "It's no good, lad, I can't do it. Go, and save yourself if you can; and leave old Muzzy to take his rating below decks at last!" I got up and called to some sailors who were falling into the rear of the now departing column. "Here, my men, here's a comrade wounded and unable to walk. Will you leave him to be butchered by the Indians?"
It was about the hour of five o'clock in the afternoon, and being winter it was already dusk, when I came at last to my native place, and rode up to the gate of my father's house. I had journeyed down as far as Norwich in company with my cousin Rupert, who was on his way to Lynn, and with my faithful friend, old Muzzy, who had sworn never to leave me, and whom I was not less loth to part with.
"Up, Sir Knight, and give grace and good thank to your lord. Not your head but mine hath a right to be muzzy with the coup I gat this day on the green meadow of the Boat Croft." And practical William of Avondale whispered in his cousin's ear, "And the lands for the youth that we spoke of."
It might be a hanging matter if it was known I had been in the boat that escaped from Gheriah. I'll tell you all about it by our two selves." I took advantage of this offer to lead the way out of the fort. We walked back to the British lines together, old Muzzy still clutching me with one hand, and as soon as we had reached a quiet spot out of earshot we sat down and he commenced his tale.
"You were very nearly drowned in the 'Connaught, and you've had a nasty knock on the head as well. . . . Feel at all muzzy now?" "Not a bit," said Vane, raising himself on his elbow. "I hope they caught the swine." "There was a rumour three or four days ago that they had." Vane stared at the speaker. "What did you say?" he remarked at length.

It feels muzzy!" she declared, with a gesture and accent which lent some enlightenment to the enigmatical expression. Then she stretched out a hand, and touched him anxiously on the shoulder. "You're drenched! You'll catch all sorts of diseases in those wet clothes. Can't you have some blankets too? I'm so lovely and warm." "My husband is putting out some clothes for you upstairs, sir.
Massy was raging before the door of the berth: the drunken voice within flowed on undisturbed in the violent racket of kicks. "Shut up! Put your light out and turn in, you confounded swilling pig you! D'you hear me, you beast?" The kicking stopped, and in the pause the muzzy oracular voice announced from within "Ah!

"Yes, sir," said Dick, grinning, "it saved us; but it warn't my idee at all. `There's lots of boiling water, Dick, says Mr Roberts, yonder; `screw on the hose, and tell the engineer what you want.
