friz

Pooty soon Bill said to hisself, 'Goy-blamed ef I don't think he's friz to death, or else he'd say somethin'!'

Not a friz or a curl was to be seen; for this once I threw aside the other woman's hair, and was from head to foot myself again.

It was cold, too, like I told yer—bitin' cold—an' me an' Buck squatted there tight together an' mos' friz.

It wa'n't no use much ter bail, for it friz as soon's it struck.
