It was only when the lady disappeared before her, a white shimmer down the darkness of the underground corridor, that the poor thing realized she had seen a ghost, and fell fainting, with a clatter of her dustpan and brush which brought her help. I could make a long list of the ghosts, for they are many, but I will not, lest I should be tedious.
Is it too expensive?" "You shall have a deviled egg if I have to steal it. But maybe you might dust up the parlor a bit while I get things ready." Lydia established little Patience on the dining-room floor with a linen picture book, brought in a broom and dustpan from the kitchen and began furiously to sweep the parlor.
I shan't be very long, and there won't be anything more to do than just keep in the fire in the kitchen." Jessie was delighted. As soon as her mother had gone she mounted to Charlie's room laden with brush and dustpan, and a bit of rag for a duster.
Billy-Billy Blackfoot's tail swelled to twice its natural size; the hair-brush fell on the floor; the dustpan rattled; the shovel and tongs staggered out from the chimney-corner and rolled over on the hearth; the Dolls scrambled and scurried under the bed, and the little old woman whisked up the chimney like a spark from a burning log.
You seemed to think that no friendship was possible between us, but I have tried to make myself believe that you said so because you didn't know me." "Honest to God?" she asked. "Is that on the level?" "I only ask for an opportunity to prove it," he replied, striving to speak naturally. He stooped and laid the dustpan on the hearth. "There! Now let's sit down."
The czar, who a week ago was loved by the people, who believed if they went to him, as to their God, and appealed for guidance, is to-day hated by all, and instead of "Nicholas the Good," since he scampered away to a castle in the country, and crawled under a bed, all the people call him "the Little Jack Rabbit," and his fate is sealed, as a bomb will blow him into pieces so small they will have to be swept up in a dustpan for burial, maybe before dad and I can get out of Russia.
Tommy had gotten a broom and a dustpan and was already raising a cloud of dust by her efforts at sweeping. "For goodness' sake, sprinkle the floor before you sweep," begged Margery chokingly. Hazel dipped up a pail of water from the lake and sprinkled it through her fingers over the floor of the boat. All the others save Harriet had fled, driven out by the choking dust.
She was on her knees with dustpan and whiskbroom, cleaning up the fragments of glass on the stained carpet. And she glanced up at him swiftly, diviningly. "Say you're in trouble yourself, ain't you?" She got up impulsively, spilling some of the contents of the pan.
Ay, I've set on that bin many's the time on a windy night, when miller wanted to get a lot o' grist done." "Back again," said Tom; and two more drawers were carried over. Then the framework and desk were fetched, with Mrs Fidler standing ready, dustpan and brush in hand, to remove any dirt and fluff that might be underneath.
It had been a hard day, and she was frankly tired of the very sight and smell of the evergreens. There was no help for it, however. The chancel must be made tidy before she could go, and she went to the cupboard under the belfry for the dustpan and brush which the sexton's wife kept there.
