I had Kätchen to help me in the housework, and whatever we did pleased my brave old father, who was always gentle and indulgent towards us women, though he was stern enough with the apprentices in the mill. Karl, the oldest of these, was his favourite; and I can see now that my father wished him to marry me, and that Karl himself was desirous to do so.
For they did not smile when Priscilla Winthrop began to refer to old Frank Hagan, who came to milk the Conklin cow and curry the Conklin horse, as "François, the man," or to call the girl who did the cooking and general housework "Cosette, the maid," though every one of the dozen other women in town whom "Cosette, the maid" had worked for knew that her name was Fanny Ropes.
If he had known better how to explain his heart, if she had known how to show him the impersonal eagerness of her awakening mind ! But, savage and silent, they sat there, loving each other, hurt, but locked each into his own impenetrable life. After that, Joan changed the hours of her study and neglected housework and sagebrush-grubbing, but, nonetheless, were Pierre's evenings spoiled.
She goes from house to house designing and cutting out gowns for women no longer able to afford dressmakers but still anxious to please. She hopes in time to be employed in one of the great dressmakers' establishments, having renounced all thought of being an artist in a more grandiose sense. Meanwhile she keeps the family from starving while her mother and sisters do the housework.
He had not entered the summer-house for years, but he found Hester knitting there as usual; and put the telegram into her hands. "Zeke is drowned." He paused and added he could not help it "You'll not need to be looking out to sea any more." Hester made as if to answer him, but rose instead and laid a hand on his breast. It was a thin hand, and roughened with housework.
She was quite a lady in her way, and had won Ada's heart by telling her that she hated housework. She thought Ada must be a born housekeeper to do without a servant, and Ada didn't trouble to put her right. Anyhow, Jonah should keep a servant. He pretended that their servants in Wyndham Street had made game of her behind her back, and robbed her right and left.
Before the purchase of the automobile, bought with a legacy inherited by Grandma Watterby, dishes and housework had been the sum total of Mrs. Will Watterby's existence. Now that she could drive the car and get away from her kitchen sink at will, she seemed another woman. Betty voiced something of this to Bob as she unfastened the towel and let her heavy dark hair fall over her shoulders.
This advice is to save you from one form of the nervous diseases which are the peculiar misfortune of our time. If your work is sedentary take physical exercise in your leisure time, out of doors, if possible; but remember that housework is the best substitute for that. The women who are not obliged to work are those who most need this precept. They can drive, and by and by they cannot walk.
In a quarter of an hour they had exchanged more words than in six months Christophe had spoken to the other inhabitants of the house. There were two flats on each floor, one of three rooms, the other of only two. There were no servants' rooms: each household did its own housework, except for the tenants of the ground floor and the first floor, who occupied the two flats thrown into one.
She looked first in the parlor, and then in the front hall; but at last she found it in the wash-room. She was very sly about it, for she was not sure Ruthie would approve of this kind of housework. Then Charlie tugged out a pail of water, and dipped in the mop; and between them both they thrust it through the opening of the pen, upon piggy's back. But the dirty creature did not love clean water.
