"Well, I never!
"Good-by, dear! You've been awfully good to me I can never forget it!" "Yes, you will that's all right," Ernestine replied gruffly, not knowing exactly what she was saying. "I hope you'll make a fortune in your new business " "Him and me," Ernestine interrupted, nodding jocularly towards the banker, "are going into the laundry business together." "You must write me all about it!" "I will."
After washing ourselves, we had to wash our clothes in the same water for there was of course no laundry on board and then the cabin floor after that. By this time the water was mud. It was impossible to have a proper bath all the time we were on board, for there was no water supply in the bathroom, and it was kept in an extremely dirty condition.
His creditors and they are many, from the newsboy to the hotel manager, the barber, the laundry agent, the liveryman and boot-black are still "giving him time," as he was confident that they would.

You say you cannot make a fortune because you are in some laundry, or running a sewing-machine, it may be, or walking before some loom, and yet you can be a millionaire if you will but follow this almost infallible direction. When you say a woman doesn't invent anything, I ask, Who invented the Jacquard loom that wove every stitch you wear? Mrs. Jacquard.

That's what they call 'the process of elimination, isn't it? Say, what are you trying to do with those things? Ruin them? Please remember that I've got to wear them to-night." "Looking for laundry marks," replied Tom. "But there aren't any.
A pretty stream, which tumbled in one waterfall after another through the masses of tropical growth, was soon the scene of numerous laundry operations, in which all the negresses in the neighbourhood insisted on joining, incited thereto no doubt by the desire of seeing how my four hundred strapping fellows set about their work.
The inside of the house I thought very, nice; all the rooms are high and of a good size; a hall, school-room, class-room, and dining-room, and prettily furnished sitting-room for the lady superintendent, a laundry, and good kitchen with a large stove all these are on the ground floor.
