It really was going on that evening in the laundry at Verner's Pride, whatever it may have been doing in the other various branches and departments. The laundry-maids had had heavy labour on their hands that day, and they were hard at work still, while Mrs. Verner slept. "Here's Mother Duff's Dan a-coming in!" exclaimed one of the women, glancing over her ironing-board to the yard.
Join you at Norwood Junction as soon as possible, and I say!" "Yes, old chap?" "Wire through to the Low Level station at Crystal Palace, will you? and inquire if anybody has mislaid an ironing-board or lost an Indian canoe. See you later. So long." Then he stepped up on to the station platform, and went in quest of a telephone booth.
"This is the first time I was ever made to do a thing like this, and I hope it will be the last! Oh, how fast I am going!" "It's the wheels on her that make her coast so nice," explained Arnold, when the Lamb was half way down the ironing-board hill. "If she didn't have them she wouldn't roll down at all. A Sawdust Doll can't do it, nor a Rocking Horse. It's got to be something with wheels."
But what to use to overcome the danger of that horrible suction?" "Ah, I see now what you were driving at when you inquired about the ironing-board or the Indian canoe. The necessary sections to construct a sort of bridge could be packed in either?" "Yes. But they chose a simple plan, the cutting-table. A good move that.
Tatyana Ivanovna, the wife of our bailiff, Fyodor Petrovna, was coming towards us. She was carrying a starched white petticoat and a long ironing-board. As she passed us she looked shyly at the visitor through her eyelashes and flushed crimson. "Wonders will never cease..." my uncle filtered through his teeth, looking after her with friendly interest.
Ethelyn would keep as much aloof from the ironing-board as she did from the dish-washing; but if Eunice was willing and even glad of the opportunity, why, that made a difference, and the good woman began to feel so much better that by the time the last article was on the line, the kitchen floor cleared up, and the basin of water heating on the stove for her own ablutions, she was quite amiably disposed toward her grand daughter-in-law, who had not made her appearance since dinner.
Glancing down at the ironing-board before her, she flushed painfully through the drawn grayness of her face. "I had a little ironing to do," she answered, "and I wanted it all finished to-night. Mother needs me in the day." Pushing her aside, he seized the iron and ran it in a few hasty strokes over the rough-dry garment which she had spread on the board.
Noah and his family looked much pleased; the elephants waved their trunks with joy; the camels stopped growling. "I don't wonder they are glad to get out," said Jedidiah. "I do believe they have been treading down those wild animals all night." Mrs. Dyer wondered what they should do with the rest. Come Tuesday she would want her ironing-board, perhaps baking-day, to set the pies on.
There were three favorite lines books, stereopticon slides and a patent combination desk, blackboard, sewing-table, snow-shovel, trundle-bed and ironing-board which was sold in vast numbers at that time by students all over the country. All through May the agents fished for victims.
She went through the physical exercises of a prayer-meeting with astonishing vigor. It was exhilarating to see her wash a shirt, and a study to watch her do it up. A quick jerk shook out the dampened garment; one pass of her ample palm spread it over the ironing-board, and a few well-directed strokes with the iron accomplished what would have occupied the ordinary laundress for half an hour.
