If their notions of a future state of punishment could be got at, they would be found in nine cases out of ten to resolve themselves into a vague conception of hard labour in a hot climate. It was the idea of the scrubbing that particularly affected the Tiger.
I was up before the break of day, scrubbing, sweeping, baking by candle-light, and what was it all for good gracious, what was it for? For weeks I'd counted on it as a great event, just to feel, down in my heart when it was all over, like a big fool." "Why, I thought I supposed " Henley began in perplexity, but she interrupted him.
If we cannot get this old watch-dog out I must wait until I can go to him." "I shall be very glad to come, doctor, for time hangs heavily on my hands. John Wilkes spends hours every day in washing and scrubbing decks, as he calls it, and there are but few books in the house." "As to that, I can furnish you, and will do so gladly. Go across to the shelves there, and choose for yourself."
King was already busy ironing, the mystery was explained. "My boss has gone off for the day," she complained. "I went up into Dutch Frank's room just now, and found the pail of water left there! He'd hardly begun his scrubbing. I don't know where he got his money from." "Was that your husband?" cried Marcella, stopping short in her toast-making. "Oh, he's bin at you, has he?" said Mrs.

"He has to clean up after his own feet, he's so dirty," sagely proffered Handy Solomon. And this was true. The seaman's prophecy held good. Seven weeks held us at that infernal job seven weeks of solid, grinding work.
In the hotel where he was stopping, the night clerk looked his surprise as he nodded a stereotyped "Good-morning."

The sun was just risen, but the air was already sultry, casting oppression and languor over every detail of the scene.
The roof or walls did not seem well calculated to keep out wind or rain, but paper blinds would ward off sunshine. From the condition of the floor, it was evident that the demon of the scrubbing brush, which has possession of all model institutions, had full sway in Douglas barracks. Pine boards could not well have been made whiter.
The note of warning had been sounded by the servants of the Court, and there had been a general scrubbing and cleansing in the habitations of New Arden that particular Arden which Mr. Granger had built for himself, and the very bricks whereof ought to have been stamped with his name and titles, as in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, son of Nabopolassar, king of Babylon.
"You'll find her, all right," he added encouragingly. "Oh, Ward! That must be Marthy's nephew. What will he think?" "Does it matter such a h a deuce of a lot what he thinks?" Ward went on with his interrupted scrubbing. "His name is Charlie Fox, and he's been to college and he worked in a bank," Billy Louise went on nervously. "He's going to live here with Marthy and run the ranch.
O'Dowd, observing the glance of appreciation that Barnes sent about the room, said: "All of thim are in the very rarest state. He has one of the finest collections in America.
