cut off = exclude?
These extensive arrangements occasioned us to be cut off unceremoniously in respect of breakfast; "for I ain't," said Mrs. Joe,—"I ain't a going to have no formal cramming and busting and washing up now, with what I've got before me, I promise you!"
Hi, what does "cut off" here mean?
..Can you also tell me what "cramming and busting and washing up" means here? I have an idea, but not sure about it. Thank you.=]
