Toby's "wizzled" face shone. "I got a debt owin' to that leetle gal you got here, and somethin' to pay off to Tommy, too. But money won't do it, ef I had money.

"Not much," said this perfectly frank young savage. "He's so awfully wizzled." "'Wizzled'?" repeated Nan, puzzled. "Yes. His face is all wizzled up like a dried apple." "But you love your aunt Matilda?" gasped Nan. "Well, she's wizzled some," confessed Margaret. Then she said: "I don't like faces like hern and Marm Sherwood's. I like your face. It's smooth."

Margaret only possessed a feeling that is quite common to humanity; she being such a little savage, she openly expressed an emotion that many of us have, but try to hide.
