Moreover, in a few days, these insects, so dreaded by housekeepers, showed themselves in the chambers above. Up to this time I had neglected to put away my furs, a new set of which had been purchased during the previous winter. I delayed this no longer. House-cleaning time had now arrived. My new carpets were taken up and packed away, to give place to the cooler matting.
There will need to be a house-cleaning time, for we have let in so much of another sort. A soft, but very honest, searching light will come flooding in through the sky-light windows. And as we instinctively go to our knees and faces because of what that light brings to light, there will be a wondrous cleansing, both by blood and by fire.
