Just why this parasite is inoperative in Australia, or why it has not been introduced there to lessen the rabbit evil, we do not know. Mr. Seton declares that the rabbits of his park were "subject to all the ills of the flesh, except possibly writer's paralysis and housemaid's knee."
He questioned her as coolly as if it had been a case of petty larceny. "Have you seen the murdered man?" he asked. "No, sir." "Or the wife?" "No, sir. I didn't dare go into the room; I only heard about it!" "Oh? And who are You? One of the lodgers?" "No, sir. I'm the cook." "Isn't there a master in the house?" "Yes, sir. He's frightened out of his wits. And the housemaid's gone for the doctor.
I wish I had not come away; it is too much for her alone! Ha! what are we stopping for now? 'To pick up Charles Layton. 'You'll make us miss the train. 'No, here he is. He shall be in nobody's way. I'll put him into the housemaid's charge in Belgrave square. And with her eyes and fingers she encouraged the poor child as he was lifted up to the box. 'There, I've not stopped you long.
"But don't you know anything of a housemaid's duties?" inquired Aunt Alice, who was a little dubious in the face of such absolute ignorance. "For instance, if the door-bell should ring, what would you do?" "I would have asked Miss Patty beforehand, ma'am, and I would do whatever she had told me to." "Good enough!" exclaimed Mr. Fairfield.
The foot was cared for, and another tray of toast and tea prepared. This, Miss Betsey took herself to Bessie, explaining that Jennie was the cousin who had come to take her former housemaid's place. "But I had no idea," she said, "that she was such a behemoth. I am afraid she will not answer my purpose at all."
Or, if it was not Susan, it was her coadjutor, Marianne, in her housemaid's neat dress, whom Susan, in her working housekeeper's black cap and gold-rimmed spectacles, had trained to all fit and proper service in a gentlewoman's house. In person Mrs. Jennings was tall and thin, sallow, and slightly hook-nosed, but still handsome.
He was ready to declare war against them on her behalf. His casus beli, accurately worded, would have read curiously. Because the world refused to lure the lady to virtue with the offer of a housemaid's place, our knight threw down his challenge. But the lady had scornfully rebutted this prospect of a return to chastity.
Bunting remembered all the circumstances as if they had only occurred yesterday, and yet she had not thought of them for years. It was quite early; she had come down for in those days maids weren't thought so much of as they are now, and she slept with the upper housemaid, and it was the upper housemaid's duty to be down very early and, there, in the dining-room, she had found Mr.
There was not litter enough, when she had swept the floors and cleaned the grates, to even half fill the housemaid's bucket which she carried with her. The children followed her about; and, all things considered, were "very good company" in the lonely place. She did not much notice the children here, being occupied with her work.
'You'll lose it again, if you don't take care. So just to prevent his losing it again, she put it on for him. Whether it was that the pretty housemaid's face looked prettier still, when it was raised towards Sam's, or whether it was the accidental consequence of their being so near to each other, is matter of uncertainty to this day; but Sam kissed her.
