Belle was listening; these sparks were flying at her gate: "Whatever you do," she interjected contemptuously, "don't get a quarrel going over that room." McAlpin, inextinguishable, turned to Belle: "Look at this: Henry Sawdy gets into that bathtub. He turns on the water. He goes to sleep. Every few weeks the ceiling falls on my new pool tables. First and last, I've had a ton of mortar on 'em.
The matter of having meals at regular hours, or eating on a tablecloth, using a napkin, the use of the bathtub and of the toothbrush, as well as the use of sheets upon the bed, were all new to me. . . . I sometimes feel that almost the most valuable lesson I got at the Hampton Institute was in the use and value of the bath.
He may desire, let us say, a housekeeper to protect his goods and entertain his friends but he may shrink from the thought of sharing his bathtub with anyone, and home cooking may be downright poisonous to him. He may yearn for a son to pray at his tomb and yet suffer acutely at the me reapproach of relatives-in-law.
Another knock stopped her here, and she turned to see young Peggy, immaculate and blooming, at the door. "I just came to bring you towels, and to see that everything was all right, and show you the way to the bathroom," she said most opportunely. "We have a bathtub, you know, even up here in the wilds!"
"Where to now?" muttered McTeague to himself as he sat on the edge of the bed in his room in the hotel.

Everyone has heard of the good woman who was showing some friends about her new home. The bathtub was an object of special pride. "Why," she exclaimed, in a glow of enthusiasm, "it's so nice that we can scarcely wait till Saturday night."
"What is it you see, then, boy?" demanded Bruno, itching to take the glasses, yet straining his own vision towards that as yet far-distant spot. "Something like oh, see how the water is running out, just like emptying a bathtub through a hole at the bottom! And see what a man caught in the whirl, true's you're a foot high, uncle!" "A man?

"Strangers will recognise the Bathing House from the front being extended over two lots of ground, and the centre basement being of free-stone." The bathtub then was the simple tin sort, on the order of the round English tub.
There was never a better son nor one who was loved more devotedly. In the morning, with the breakfast tray, there arrived a bunch of orchids from one of Oliver's theatrical friends, who had heard that his wife was in town; and while Virginia laid the box carefully in the bathtub, her eyes shone with the grateful light which came into them whenever some one did her a small kindness or courtesy.
