In detail, she had a handkerchief tied around her head, while short, slender locks of tangled hair hung down on either side; a blue flannel shirt over another shirt which should have been white; and a faded-out skirt which moulded itself to her slender thighs as she sat with her legs crossed and nervously wiggled her foot.
"I do not think I could afford to have two helpers." "It does not matter," said the faded-out lady stubbornly. "Janice, get the coffee now. It does not matter. I refuse positively to sleep in that little, poked-up room. I prefer my windows opening to the east." "But the east room is the one Mrs. Day always used," said the man, with sudden hoarseness. "I cannot allow you to use that one.
And it was a nice dinner that was served at the Day table that evening. Like the faded-out lady, Mrs. Carringford sat down to eat with them. But there was a different air about Mrs. Carringford. She was really a gentlewoman. Janice recovered her spirits and chattered like a magpie; and Mr.
Day," said the faded-out lady, simpering. "I've been considerin' acceptin' a position such as you have. Of course, I ain't used to working out " "Oh, fiddlesticks? put in Miss Peckham, "He don't care nothin' about that, Sophrony. He can see you ain't no common servant."

Isn't that the same suit you took down to the pawnbroker's last Wednesday night at fifteen minutes past seven and asked him to loan you two dollars and a half on it, and the pawnbroker wanted to know if the suit was your own?"
She was of a naturally cheerful nature an attribute she inherited from her father. It took more than the faded-out lady to cause the girl overwhelming anxiety. The stroke that had been the hardest for her to bear since her mother's death was the loss of the treasure-box and the heirlooms in it.
It seems to me that in England they play a very faded-out part, and those with whom I conversed had a kind of depressed and humiliated tone; a little dull, tame look, as if they were used to being snubbed and bullied, which made me want to give them a good shaking.
