We'll tell her to-morrer any way.... And you do with my shack what you want, any old thing, so's you let me sleep there. It'll be fine, fine!" And so it was agreed, although Milly was not greatly pleased with the prospect of becoming homemaker and companion to the Laundryman.
They are no more than the ripples which one's ego a face! Two hundred and eighty-five years old, if a day. Aha! His nobs. A fiddler.

There was one man there who had fallen on adversity, and to him she had given board and lodging for several months. When the Chinese laundryman refused to wash for him without payment she had sent his things to be washed with hers. She could not allow the poor fellow to go about in a dirty shirt, she said, and since he was a man, and men must smoke, she gave him a franc a day for cigarettes.
"Thishere laundryman," said Genesis, resuming "thishere laundryman what own the dog, I reckon he mus' hopped on 'at street-car what went by." "Well, he OUGHT to be arrested!" she said, and, pressing her cheek to Flopit's, she changed her tone. "Izzum's ickle heart a-beatin' so floppity!

I don't see myself as a Fan Importer, a Glass Beveller, a Hotel Broker, an Insect Exterminator, a Junk Dealer, a Kalsomine Manufacturer, a Laundryman, a Mausoleum Architect, a Nurse, an Oculist, a Paper-Hanger, a Quilt Designer, a Roofer, a Ship Plumber, a Tinsmith, an Undertaker, a Veterinarian, a Wig Maker, an X-ray apparatus manufacturer, a Yeast producer, or a Zinc Spelter."
