"Our drains!" chimed in Mrs. Hasluck, who was a homely soul; "well, you'd hardly know there was any in the house since I've took to using it." "What are they talking about?" asked Teidelmann, appealing to my mother. "What's he say his wife does?" "Your disinfectant," explained my mother; "Mrs. Hasluck swears by it." "Who?" "Mrs. Hasluck." "Does she?
In imagination, old Hasluck saw himself the grandfather of Chancellors, the great-grandfather of Kings. "I have laid the foundation, you shall raise the edifice," so he told her one evening I was spending with them, caressing her golden hair with his blunt, fat fingers. "I am glad you were not a boy.
Hasluck was the type of woman to have escaped observation, even had the wedding been her own; that she was present at her daughter's, "becomingly dressed in grey veiling spotted white, with an encrustation of mousseline de soie," I learnt the next day from the Morning Post. Old Hasluck himself had to be fetched every time he was wanted.
Then she put my mother down into a chair and stood over her. "Now you leave the house and everything connected with it to me, mum," commanded Amy; "you've got something else to do." And from that day we were in the hands of Amy, and had nothing else to do but praise the Lord for His goodness. Old Hasluck would have come himself, I am sure, had he thought he would be welcome.
"Guess we'll always be like this, now," continued old Hasluck. "Old woman goes to bed, you see, immediately after dinner. It used to be different when she was about. Somehow, the house and the lackeys and all the rest of it seemed to be a more natural sort of thing when she was the centre of it. It frightens the old woman now she's gone. She likes to get away from it. Poor old Susan!
Or should I award thanks not to Fate, but rather to sweet Barbara, and behind her do I not detect shameless old Hasluck, grinning good-naturedly in the background? "Now, Uncle Luke, I want your advice. Dad's given me this cheque as a birthday present. I don't want to spend it. How shall I invest it?" "My dear, why not consult your father?"
