"I guess if it ain't very much you want, we can manage it." "It's only five dollars." Mrs. Wickersham went back to the kitchen and resumed her dish-washing.
As he was leaving the room he turned to me and said: "I would like you to come to the library after you get those important partnership duties completed." "Do you mean our dish-washing?" I asked. "Yes, certainly. You seem to enjoy menial work very much." "It is woman's work, Mr.
There are cherries!" and away he flew, while Hilda laughed and clapped her hands, for she had understood every word. "May I go out into the garden?" she asked, when she had finished her breakfast and taken her first lesson in dish-washing, in spite of Dame Hartley's protest.

"I don't mind washing dishes, except the nasty frying-pan and the sticky bean-pot; but what I'm going to do to-night is different." Here he glowed and tingled with anticipation.

"Let's hurry! I'm just crazy to get the fire started. Who is going to make the light?" "Why, you are, Dolly! You won the dish-washing race, so you've certainly got the right to do that." "I'll let you do it if you want to, Bessie. I don't care about the old race." "No. You earned the right. And I believe you can do it better than I can, anyhow."

We only feared the bright eyes of Ethel and Maude and Carrie. Fortunately they could not properly call upon us, even if they had wished to do so, and we were safe. It is probable, moreover, that they fully understood our methods, for they often slyly hinted at hasty dish-washing and primitive cookery.
"It just happens to be my turn." The look of relief on Willis' face made Lydia angry. She turned her back on him and proceeded to let a cloud of steam envelop her and her bottles. "The idiot!
