Scratchard was envious, because she had lost all her own tail-feathers, and looked more like a worn- out old feather-duster than a respectable hen, and that therefore she was filled with sheer envy of anybody that was young and pretty. So young Mrs. Feathertop cackled gay defiance at her busy rubbishy neighbour, as she sunned herself under the bushes on fine June afternoons.
"Hush your rubbishy questions," she commanded "We're goin' in!" She tapped one of the doors gently. Gwendolyn glanced down at her daintily slippered feet. With so little time for reflecting, she could not decide which one she should put forward. Both looked equally well. The next moment the doors swung open, and Potter, white-haired, grave and bent, stepped aside for them to pass.
She was a rubbishy little creature, and she knew it. A telegram had dragged her from Naples to the death-bed of a woman whom she had scarcely known. A word from her husband had plunged her into mourning. She desired to mourn inwardly as well, but she wished that Mrs. Wilcox, since fated to die, could have died before the marriage, for then less would have been expected of her.
At length the little flock were all assembled; and having been well lined inside by a migratory kind of breakfast, the outer process began.

He did it very naturally, and he draws a great deal better than those rubbishy old pictures in Father's Robinson Crusoe." "Well, I don't care.
Then there was the big cupboard under the stairs, but that could scarcely be the site of this prodigious cache, for it was full of cardboard and curtains and carpets and all the rubbishy accumulations which Elizabeth could not bear to part with.
Alas, her purse was all too soon emptied, and she had also upon her the awful load of debt, for Poppy Jenkins it seems, lent her the money to get that rubbishy story published. In her despair she thought of The Joy-bell, and went off to see the editor. "Luckily I came home that evening, and found your poor little sister in sad trouble.
He cared little for the house it was a rubbishy old pile which he would remove very soon but the grounds, covered then with an extensive garden, represented an uncommonly profitable transaction.
