Then she insisted on looking over the clothes for the Monday's wash and mending up the rents. Tuesday she would come in and darn the stockings. When she was nine years old it was her business to do all the family darning, looking askance at Doris. "Now, if you had been an only child, Aunt Priscilla, and had no parents, what a small amount of darning would have fallen to your share!" said Betty.
But with all its drawbacks, the plan had at least the advantage of keeping the office doors shut for the whole of the twenty-four sacred hours, and thus the appearance of evil, if not the evil itself, was avoided. As a consequence of this system, the greater part of Monday's paper had to be set on Saturday, and the leader, in particular, was always furnished to the printers on that day.
Maybe you'd like to learn me beekeeping? he continued with salty humility. 'Maybe you would! Never will I! He began to tear off the tops of the hives. 'Oh, Mr. Vessons, dunna be so cross! Hazel was afraid there would be another scene like Monday's. 'You take 'em off very neat, she added, with a pathetic attempt to be tactful 'as neat as my dad.

Happening to glance through the advertisement colums, his attention became presently arrested by the offer of Five Pounds reward.

"Half a moment Yes, Troy News' Here we are!" "Now cast your eye down the column till you come 'pon a part about last Monday's Agricultural Demonstration." "The devil!" swore 'Bias. "You don't mean to say " "'Course I do. Everything gets into the papers nowadays. . . . You'll find it spicy." 'Bias found the paragraph and started to read, with knitted brows.
P. looked a little sober at this; but he said nothing except to ask: "Shall you all be ready to sail in a fortnight?" "Certainly, in a week," we all answered. "Well, then, we must hurry home to prepare," said he. "I shall write for state-rooms for us in Monday's boat, Polly."
