One of the most dangerous human behaviors is what my daughter-in-law calls MAS-MaleAnswer Syndrome.

They have a small thin adulterated gold coin, rudely stamped with Arabic characters, called mas or massiah.

Appreciation was expressed over the flavor of "a kind of root, baked, which the Spaniards called mas kurl" (mescal).

They are in Aunt Rachel's way, and she rushes past them, pushing them aside, and calling Mas'r to come and attend to their wants.
