Whoever fashioned it of gold and covered it with diamonds did not add to its usefulness, nor do I consider it as beautiful as the bright dishpans of tin one usually sees. No yellow color is ever so handsome as the silver sheen of tin," and he turned to look at his tin legs and body with approval. "I cannot quite agree with you there," replied the Scarecrow.
Billy finished the pies in one grand charge. The enraged cook forgot his own danger and boldly striding out into the open began throwing things at the mad goat. It mattered not what he threw. Anything he laid his hands on answered for the purpose dishpans, small kettles, knives, loaves of bread all went the same way, some of them reaching Chunky and bringing a howl from him.
"Yes, and I said I would try it out while we were up here, if the chance came. You see, perhaps there mightn't happen to be any wild bees around, for I haven't noticed 'em working." "Oh! make up your mind to that," declared Thad. "I've heard several farmers tell how they lost a fine swarm, no matter how much racket they kicked up with dishpans and all sorts of tin buckets.
She looked up at the brilliant sky above her, and around at the shining lake, the dark trees drooping to the water's edge, the green islands sleeping in the sunshine. "Oh, pleasant place!" she sighed. They were silent for a few moments; Bell was scouring dishpans till they shone like silver, while Hildegarde thoughtfully wrung out the dishcloths that she had been washing as she talked.
In her journal for July, 1858, the author of "Little Women" records, "Went into the new house and began to settle.

I have plans simmering, but must sweep and dust and wash my dishpans a while longer till I see my way."
The crowd was constantly increasing, and nearly every man had a bucket or pail. Some had brought their wives' dishpans, as they could not find their pails in the darkness and confusion. "Come on, Bert, let's get in line," suggested Vincent. "Yes let me git to a place where I can rest," begged Cole. "Here, I'll help," added John Boll, another of Bert's chums.
He had been setting dishpans and wash-tubs and pails under the various jets of water that came in through the patched roof in unwelcome libations. His sleeves were rolled up and he was rolling up pew cushions. He gave Jim a wet hand and peered at him curiously. It relieved Jim not to be recognized and regarded as a visiting demon.
"I am traveling in search of a jeweled gold dishpan, my good woman," he replied with an air of great dignity. "You won't find it here, then," said she. "Our dishpans are tin, and they're good enough for anybody. So go back to your pond and leave me alone." She spoke rather crossly and with a lack of respect that greatly annoyed the Frogman.
And after a year of that she became waitress in a cheap restaurant hash-slinger, she called it. She said to me once, 'Romance I guess was what I wanted. But there wan't no romance floating around in dishpans and washtubs, or in factories and hash-joints. "When she was eighteen she married a man who was going up to Juneau to start a restaurant. He had a few dollars saved, and appeared prosperous.
"We have trouble enough in keeping track of our own dishpans, without meddling with the dishpans of strangers." Finding him so ignorant, the Frogman proposed that they walk on and seek Cayke's dishpan elsewhere.
