But she was so put out to think I had not arrived early that she whisked out of that compartment the second I arrived, only taking time to give me one fearful and unmistakable glare. Kelly caught the remnants of it as she swung by him. He sauntered over to my counter. “Say, the nerve of some people!” That Thursday noon, I ate with the workers in the help's kitchen. So much talk!
This Thursday up in the recreation room I found an ancient scrubwoman, patched and darned to pieces, with stringy thin hair, and the fat, jovial Irishwoman from the help's pantry. The three of us had as giddy a half hour as anyone in all New York. We laughed at one another's jokes till we almost wept, and forgot all about the thermometer.
Sary's anxious tone expressed her eagerness for a favorable reply to her query on widowhood. Eleanor looked at Anne to answer, so she took the initiative. "Certainly, Sary come right along and enjoy yourself." Barbara was shocked. "The help's not going surely!" "Humph! Miss Halsey ast me afore she mentioned you-all!" snapped Sary, quite able to defend herself against Barbara's pride.
"'All right, Yank, says he. 'Help's come. The Confederate States of America is going to apply for your release. The representatives of the government arrived on a fruit-steamer last night.

"But," she said, "it will ruin your life if you marry a servant. So please, please don't! What would I do when I knew I'd hurt you?" "There's no life to ruin, Hilda. What's been is just dust and ashes. You and I we'll live for each other, and we'll try to help where help's needed.
An intolerant colored boy, pompous in green-and-gilt livery eyed her insolently. She stated her errand. "The help's entrance is on the side street," he informed her impudently.

So wrapped in smoke was the scene, so dusk, with the ragged and mournful woods hiding the low sun, that it was hard to distinguish the wounded. It seemed as though it was the earth herself complaining. "On, on, men!" cried Ashby. "Help's coming the Maryland Line!" There was a wavering answer, half cheer, half-wailing cry, "Ashby! Ashby!"

Eleanor then suggested: "Now you run away and beautify yourself, Sary, and I will wash the dishes to-night."
For the ringing of the bell was so prolonged and so insistent in its demands that he no longer doubted it to be a signal of distress. But it was almost impossible to see even a few feet through the blinding clouds of snow, and raising the sash the plumber hallooed: "What's wanted? Anybody in trouble?" "Help's wanted! Awful trouble!" came the answering shout. "Where?" "Armacost's.
Curtis," the lady had said, "if ever you are ill, I hope you'll be sure and send to me." And Mrs. Curtis had replied: "Well, ma'am, if ever I sends, you may be sure I am ill." "But," she added, "they don't understand. 'Tis when you're on yer feet that help's wanted not wait till 'tis too late."
