The cook kindly went upstairs to see who was in Philip's room. It was the housemaid's turn to look after him for a while. I went instantly to his bedside. There was no persuading him to allow himself to be taken to the hospital. "I am dying," he said. "If you have any pity for me, send for Euneece. Let me see her once more, let me hear her say that she forgives me, before I die." I hesitated.
"Oh, be still, Primmie, for mercy sakes!" "Yes'm. What thin little legs he's got, ain't he?" Miss Phipps did not reply to her housemaid's criticism of the Bangs limbs. Instead, she made an observation of her own. "Where in the world did he get that ugly, brown, stiff hat?" she demanded. "It doesn't look like anything that ever grew on land or sea."
The little Nokes-Montmorencis shall have it all. She's a most accomplished creature is Constance. Sings, they tell me, for it's not in English, so I don't understand it, divinely; plays ditto; draws ditto. Enter SUSAN, with housemaid's broom. Susan. What do you please to want, sir? Nokes. You, Susan; you, first of all, and then a shirt-button. I have not five minutes to spare.
During the long wakeful hours which ensued Latimer tried to distract his mind from his own immediate troubles by dwelling with decent sympathy on the second housemaid's bereavement, but he found himself more often wondering how many Boy Scouts were sharing his Melton overcoat. The role of Saint Martin malgre lui was not one which appealed to him.
Barrington has sensibly forbidden the giving of tips, and since we don't pretend to be friends it would be a bad precedent." "Miss Boyd is an excellent scholar," said Miss Vincent. "If she couldn't learn something higher she might as well stay on the lower rounds," sneered some one. "They relegate these things better in England. A housemaid's daughter is generally a housemaid."
On this side is placed, approached by porch and lobby, the hall with a fireplace of the "olden time," lavatory, etc., butler's pantry, w. c., staircase, larder, kitchen, scullery, stores, etc. On the south side are two sitting rooms, opening into a conservatory. There are six bedrooms, a dining-room, bath room, and housemaid's sink.
The housemaid's hand had failed to give a look of order to the jumble of heterogeneous objects left on the dressing-table and the mantel-shelf pipes, pen-knives, pencils, keys, golf-balls, old letters, photographs, small boxes, tins and bottles. Two fine etchings and some water-color sketches hung on the walls; leaning against the end of the wardrobe, unhung, were a few framed engravings.
Sloman seated by the silver urn, and a neat little table spread for three, so quick had been the housemaid's intuitions. "Good-morning, Charles: come get some breakfast. You will hardly be in time for your train," suggested Aunt Sloman in a voice that had in it all the gloom of the morning.
I will now ask him any question, concerning either the dead or the living, that you may be inclined to ask." "I will ask a test question," said Gertrude Forrest. "What are the servants doing at this time?" "The cook's examinin' a goose," was the reply, "and the housemaid's talking wi' a chap as is just come from t' village."
"Yes," answered John, in an abstracted tone, and as if he was not considering Mrs. Walker's mental characteristics, which was the case, for he was merely occupied in wishing she would return. "But she wishes to look well, notwithstanding," continued Justina, as if excusing her, "so no wonder she goes to divest herself of her housemaid's apron."
