He had been greatly upset when, about an hour ago, the maid-of-all-work had informed him that the police were in the house, that they would allow no one except the persons lodging in the house to enter it, and no one, once in, would be allowed to leave. How long these orders would hold good Theodore did not know.
If you ain't a-hidin' of that thar feller, ye won't mind my pokin' around a bit, will yer?" Laura did not say a word. She stood up and looked over at Liz Bean. For a moment the maid-of-all-work seemed petrified. Then she dove for the growling Barnacle. She untied the rope with which he was fastened. "Hello!" exclaimed the puffing sheriff. "What's that for?"
The wife was maid-of-all-work in doors, while the husband was Jack-at-all-trades outside. Three several times the tribe removed their place of residence, and he was so many times compelled to build for himself a house, every stick and brick of which was put in place by his own hands.
It is only in families where one employee is kept that it may make a very serious difference to the housewife when her "maid-of-all-work" is away for one entire day each week. Nevertheless the comfort of an employer ought not to outweigh justice to an employee.
On this hung much of the future comfort and well-being, perhaps even the existence, of the party. Gaspard was, therefore, ordered to get out his nets and set them opposite the encampment. Oolibuck, being officially an interpreter of the Esquimau language, and, when not employed in his calling, regarded as a sort of male maid-of-all-work, was ordered to assist Gaspard.
Then all is dark again, and he goes slowly back to his own room. The next day he threw up his lease. Second tenant: Mrs. Crispin. Stayed but one night. Would never tell us what she saw. Third tenant: Mrs. Southwick. Hires Bess for maid-of-all-work, the only girl she could get. Night 1: Unearthly lights shining up through the house, waking the family.
You won't know him any better than you do now, Mr. Canby; you'll only know him more. I've been with him for four years stage-manager hired man maid-of-all-work order his meals for him in hotels and I guess old Tinker and I know him as well as anybody does, but it's a mighty big job to handle him just right. It keeps us hopping, but that's bread and butter.
From the hallway and in the act of mopping a margin of floor, a maid-of-all-work swung back from all-fours and sat upright on her heels, inserting a head of curl-papers through the open doorway. "Play that over again, Miss Mae. That Mustard Glide' sure does tickle my soles." Miss Munroe turned to the room with the palm of her hand placed pat against her brow. "God!" said she, "my head!"
I may add that she looked the cheap maid-of-all-work, and her manners were of the free and fresh sort that indicates a feeling that as high, or higher, wages, and less to do could be got elsewhere. "I don't think you can see Mr. Roebuck," she said. "Take my card to him," I ordered, "and I'll wait in the parlor."
They were of all sorts, for the secretary seemed to exercise hardly any discrimination, and Esther was sent on long journeys from Brixton to Notting Hill to visit poor people who could hardly afford a maid-of-all-work. These useless journeys were very fatiguing.
