Her husband's havin' been killed in one o' his ships by a fall when he was full o' liquor, and her bein' there so much to help Ann, and their havin' provided for her all these years one way an' another, didn't give her the right to undertake the housekeepin' and direction o' everything soon as Ann died.
It's better pay, and you have more control of your hours, and you can set down while you work, if you've a mind to. I think it's going to be splendid. What should you say if 'Manda Grier and me took some rooms and went to housekeepin'?" "I don't know," said Lemuel; but in his soul he felt jealous of her keeping house with 'Manda Grier.
"You are sure it won't inconvenience you?" "Bless you, no! I cal'late it's more likely to inconvenience you," and Cap'n Abe chuckled mellowly. "I don't know what sort o' 'roughin' it' you've done with your pa; but if there's anything much rougher than an ol' man's housekeepin' down here on the Cape, it must be pretty average rough!" She laughed gayly. "You can't scare me!"
She showed us all through the back part o' the house, and we praised everything and told her it looked like old experienced housekeepin' instead of a bride's. "Well, when we went back to the dinin'-room on our way to the porch, if there wasn't Harvey bendin' over the table countin' the silver teaspoons!
He was at a loss to prevent the men entering the house, but once within the house he determined that they should not enter the bedroom. He backed toward it and stood with one shoulder against the lintel. "Come right in. I ain't got to housekeepin' yet, but . . ." He ceased speaking as he saw Corliss's gaze fixed on the kyacks. "Where did you get 'em?" queried the rancher.
They feel that way some mornin' in ivry month, but th' next day finds thim still glarin' at each other over th' ham an' eggs. No wife iver laves her husband while he has th' breath iv life in him, an' anny gintleman that took a thrip to Reno in ordher to saw off th' housekeepin' expinses on a rash successor wud find throuble ready f'r him whin he come back to Ar-rchey Road.
You have only to look at a woman's housekeepin' to reelize the restfulness she finds in keepin' things disturbed all the time. I have looked upon the housekeepin' of enough Mrs. Scraggses to be able to speak with the v'ice of experience, if not the v'ice of wisdom. "So Mrs.
There, there!" with a smile, "I guess you think I'm pretty free with my criticism and remarks, don't you? You must excuse me. Housekeepin' 'specially the cookin' part is my hobby, as you might say, and I was interested to see how a couple of men got along with the job. I mustn't set around and keep you from your work. You might want to make some more cookies, or somethin'."
I ain't objectin' to good housekeepin' at all, but what I say is: Get your dust-rag big enough to wipe up somethin' besides your own dust. The Lord, He's a-housekeepin' too. "So, with that i-dee, I got above the shroud an' I begun on the woman some like she was my kitchen closet in the spring o' the year. "'What's your name? s'I. "''Leven, s'she. "'Leaven, s'I, 'like the Bible? "'Huh? s'she.
'Leven hung back, but I took her by the hand an' we went an' looked down at Jennie in that nice, gentlin', after-supper light 'Leven in Jennie's shroud an' neither of 'em knew it. "An' all out o' the air somethin' says to me, Now now like it will when you get so's you listen. I always think it's like the Lord had pressed His bell somewheres for help in His housekeepin' oh, because how He needs it!
