How would you interpret “dusted up the ash”? I got up to put more wood on the fire, a piece of cedar shingle that sent a little shower of sparks onto the floor. I dusted up the ash, no harm done. How would you interpret “dusted up the ash”? I guess it means he dusted the ash off the floor, right? Thanks! And this excerpt is taken from The Lacuna by Kingsolver.
