Ah...Trish...What would 'Webster" know....the tough women going out West were not from his 'educational" background. Many were from the Lowliest status of Europe and not educated at all. Example: (Farmers from Ireland and maids from England who very likely had married a man they barely knew just to survive) etc. Those are the ones from whom I took my meaning. (Sullen? yes, they could very well have gotten to that point after a while on the trail of hardship. Possibly felt mean by the time they went from Beautiful East coast area (which reminded many of them of the Old World they had left) to many parts of the Midwest).
But my meaning of Mulligrubs is only at the 'deep thought' level. Ha! Ha!
What a conversation!
