_Grisly._--Can any of your readers inform me why a person in a fretful
state is said to be _grisly_? the far-famed Guzzle being a pattern of
meekness and patience. I am aware that Johnson gives the
meaning--_fearfully_, _horribly_; but this does not seem satisfactory.
Infants are often said by their nurses to be "very _grisly_."
