'If you sleep well during the might there MAY be a chance for you, said she, shaking her head, as she tucked him up warmly; 'but if not And of course the poor man never closed an eye till the sun rose. 'How do you feel this morning? asked the woman, coming in on tip-toe when her house-work was finished. 'Oh, bad; very bad indeed, answered he; 'I have not slept for a moment.
By two o'clock the house-work was done, and they had the long afternoon for books, needle-work, or drawing for perhaps there was one with a gift at her pencil. Perhaps one read aloud while others sewed, and managed in that way to keep up a great deal of reading. It is said that women who have been accustomed to doing their own work become hard mistresses.
For cook and house-maid on these days it would be a busy morning. Failing other supervision, Dan and I agreed that to secure success on these important occasions each of us should criticise the work of the other. I passed judgment on Dan's cooking, he upon my house-work. "Too much soda," I would declare, sampling the cake. "You silly Juggins! It's meant to taste of soda it's a soda cake."
When I was a girl, in service at the old hall, on Cowberry Edge, I heard a good deal of one they said had lived there in former times. He did house-work as well as a woman, and a good deal quicker, they said. "And what was he like?" inquired the Tailor, as composedly as he was able. "A little fellow, they said," answered the Farmer's wife, knitting calmly on.
It may be questioned whether as a whole they would do much better. The girls that fill our families and do our house-work are often of the age of our own daughters, standing for themselves, without mothers to guide them, in a foreign country, not only bravely supporting themselves, but sending home in every ship remittances to impoverished friends left behind.
She took interest in the house-work, went to church regularly, and looked after her servant with more severity. She took Berthe from nurse. When visitors called, Félicité brought her in, and Madame Bovary undressed her to show off her limbs.
Whinnie, by the way, is to help me with the house-work. He is much better at washing dishes than I ever thought he could be. And he announces he can make a fair brand of bannock, if we run out of bread. Tuesday the Ninth I've got a hired man. He dropped like manna, out of the skies, or, rather, he emerged like a tadpole out of the mud.
There was a feeling of independence in making and using his own money that was very pleasant. He did not wonder that the older boys had gotten out to do for themselves. Though he had to rise early and work late to keep up his house-work and home chores, and his field-work, he did not count it a hardship. He felt manly and strong in doing it. Mr.
Then I realized all this embarrassment was because he thought I should feel uncomfortable at being caught doing house-work! Not, as one might have imagined, because he had been caught peeping into our garden. Oh, the odd ideas of the lower classes! I took up a Sèvres cup and began to pull the silk duster gently through the handle. "Er can I help you?" he said. At that I burst out laughing.
Alderling's having to do the house-work I necessarily had to do a good many things for myself, there were certain little graces which were never wanting, from her hands: my curtains were always carefully drawn, and my coverlet triangularly opened, so that I did not have to pull it down myself.
