She had reason to believe that even Cora Cordelia was making something for her, and though it was difficult for her to ignore the fact that it was a knit washcloth, she had hitherto avoided absolute certainty on the subject.

"There ain't a lady livin' that's worth messin' up yer clane clothes for," said Mary Ellen, sternly. "Lord! To see the cinders in yer hair, an' the soot in yer ears it does bate all " As she talked, she scrubbed us vehemently with a washcloth. "Ouch!" moaned Angel, "oh, Mary El-len, you're hurting me!
