topsy-turvydom

It was necessary, Miss Tredgold assured the girls, to have topsy-turvydom before the reign of order could begin.

But despite the topsy-turvydom, we were made welcome, and both Phillips and Smith did their best to entertain.

But wherever trees and towns hang head downwards in a pigmy puddle, the sense of Celestial topsy-turvydom is the same.

It would be quite a comedy of Irish topsy-turvydom were it not, in fact, such a disastrous tragedy.
