You certainly couldn't pay for these comforts outside of this house on what Breen & Co. can afford to pay you. Half of your mental unrest, my lad, is due to the fact that you do not know the joy and comfort to be got out of plain, common, unadulterated work." "I'll do anything that is not menial." "What do you mean by 'menial'?" "Well, working like a day-laborer."
And why am I uncertain and restless I, a poor day-laborer in the world who fill an obscure station in a corner of it, and whose work it avails itself of, without heeding the workman?
"An ignorant booby! a ploughboy! a lout who has neither the manners of a gentleman nor the education of a day-laborer." "Yes, you may well say such things of him now," said she with her eyes flashing, "when his back is turned. You would not say so if he were here. But he yes, if he were here he would tell you what he thinks of you, for he is a gentleman, and not a coward." Angry as he was, Mr.
In another world we may meet again or perhaps no more. And I, too, am a good citizen. Do I not fulfil the extremity of the law? Do I not honor the law? Do I not uphold and defend it?

The father was a day-laborer; the mother went out washing; Joe, a boy of fourteen, was in the district messenger service; after him came Katy, who was employed in McNaughton's store; and then Ellie, the little invalid. Two younger children had died in infancy. Poor Ellie was fast becoming helpless. How different it had been a few months before!
"The ordinary dwelling of the small tenant, of the day-laborer, in that part of Ireland, answers with the utmost precision the description of it twenty years ago given by M. de Beaumont: 'Let the reader picture to himself four walls of dried mud, which the rain easily reduces to its primitive condition; a little thatch or a few cuts of turf form the roof; a rude hole in the roof forms the chimney, and more frequently there is no other issue for the smoke than the door of the dwelling itself.
"Oh, a day-laborer can't come in his overalls " "No," she interrupted, with a sudden sharpness. "You said what you did because you think the shop's going to kill you." "No, no!" "Yes, you do think that!" She rose to her feet again and came and stood before him. "Or you think it's going to send you back to the sanitarium. Don't deny it, Bibbs. There!
