I'm sure something can be done. Francis is perfectly sure to do anything you like, he adores you so." But this didn't seem to give comfort, either. And as the boiler was moaning with excess of heat, Lucille dashed for the bathtub.
Means o' grace! a bathtub! Well, I never!" The ladies of the Aid Society were already convened in Mrs. Dix's front parlor, a large square room, filled with the cool green light from a yard full of trees, whose deep-thrust roots defied the drought. Ellen Dix had just brought in a glass pitcher, its frosted sides proclaiming its cool contents, when the late comers arrived. "Yes," Mrs.
"El wants to put you up for the club," called Emily above the rush of hot water into the bathtub. "Why should she?" Susan called back smiling, but uneasy, but Emily evidently did not hear. "Don't forget to look in on Mama," she said again, when Susan was dressed. Susan nodded. "But, Lord, this is a terrible place to try to THINK in!" the girl thought, knocking dutifully on Mrs. Saunders' door.
Peggy threw open a door where, among wooden floor and side-wall and ceiling and everything else of the most primitive, a real and most enticingly porcelain bathtub sat proudly awaiting guests. "It'll not be so good as you've been used to," she said with more suggestion of Irishry than Marjorie had yet heard, "but I guess you'll be glad of it." "Glad!" said Marjorie.

"Ah, poverty!" sighed the heir of the estate.
She found that she had slept too late to go to church, and prepared for a joyful dash to the boarding-house bathtub. There might be who knew but there actually might be on this day of days, enough hot water for a real bath!
She daily inspected both her lavishly distributed lambrequins and her "gentleman roomers'" mail, with an occasional discreet excursion into their unlocked trunks. Cooking in a bedroom was as illicit as private laundry work in the second-floor bathtub.
You know what the rule is in Make-Believe Toyland none of the things dare move when human eyes look at them. And the three little girls were surely looking at the Candy Rabbit now, as he bobbed about in the bathtub. "Oh, look what happened!" cried Dorothy, pointing to the toy. "Your Candy Rabbit is in the bathtub!" screamed Mirabell. "Yes, and I'm going to get him out!" exclaimed Madeline.
"It is queer," said Agony, "because water doesn't affect me a bit like that. I love to hear it, day or night. But it's been that way with Oh-Pshaw ever since she was little. I can remember once when we were about five years old she had spasms because our nurse left us alone in the bathtub when the water was running in.
