And with that Cadbury marched out of the housemaid's cupboard with his hands in his pockets. Prayers were followed by early prep., and early prep., by breakfast, without a word on the subject uppermost in the minds of so many. The day-boys arrived, and saw at once that something was up, though what they could not make out. But at ten minutes to nine Mr.
Anæmia, mild neurasthenia, cardiac symptoms and a few other pusillanimous ailments. Wonder they didn't throw in housemaid's knee! Oh, confound 'em all!" He converted a sigh into a prolonged yawn. "Let's make merry over a peg, Lance. Doctors are exhausting to argue with. And Cuthers always said I couldn't argue for nuts! Now then how about pegs?"
He was Count and she was Countess. There was a girl to do housemaid's work when I got there. She was not over-clean or tidy, but there was no harm in her. I and she were the only servants in the house. Our master and mistress came after we got in; and as soon as they did come we were told, downstairs, that company was expected from the country.
"An' she's Mr. Craven's but I'm to do the housemaid's work up here an' wait on you a bit. But you won't need much waitin' on." "Who is going to dress me?" demanded Mary. Martha sat up on her heels again and stared. She spoke in broad Yorkshire in her amazement. "Canna' tha' dress thysen!" she said. "What do you mean? I don't understand your language," said Mary. "Eh!

He stared still more when she looked up with the air of one who has a happy thought and informed him that her Christian name was Ethel. "Ethel?" echoed Robin. "It's a very pretty name, I think," said Priscilla, looking pleased. "Our housemaid's called Ethel, and so is the little girl that wheels the gardener's baby's perambulator," was Robin's impetuous comment.
Sir Richard's footman backing the invitation, the boy was carried into the house accordingly, laid on the housemaid's bed, and attended to by the cook, while the policeman went out to look after the runaways. "Oh! what ever shall we do?" exclaimed the cook, as the boy showed symptoms of returning consciousness. "Send for the doctor," suggested the housemaid.
Martha might some day let her stand in the housemaid's closet, to behold her idol issue forth in the full glory of an evening dress a thing Charlotte had read of, but never seen anything nearer to it than Miss Walby coming to tea, and her own Miss Clara in the scantiest of all white muslins. But Mrs. Martha was in an unexampled state of vixenish crossness, and snapped venomously at mild Mrs.

"No soldier is asked to think for himself," he says, "to judge for himself, to consult his own honor and manhood, to dread any consequence except the consequence of punishment to his own person.
In a strange town, among strangers, with a number of ladies visiting me who talked only of servants and babies troubles of which I knew nothing who were profoundly uninterested in everything that had formed my previous life, in theology, in politics, in questions of social reform, and who looked on me as "strange" because I cared more for the great struggles outside than for the discussions of a housemaid's young man, or the amount of "butter when dripping would have done perfectly well, my dear," used by the cook under such circumstances it will not seem marvellous that I felt somewhat forlorn.
