Their absence would have been more of a surprise. She sat staring at the lake and trying to keep track of her children.

The children of scrubwomen always return in due time. Mrs.
She often thought that if she could but employ scrubwomen all the time, the problem would be half solved. But the achievement of each day was, according to Endbury standards, to keep or get somebody into the kitchen who could serve a course dinner, even if the mistress of the house was obliged to prepare it.
In this way, the various directors of the many Douglas-Lacey Companies explained, it was impossible for the investors to lose. But they did lose. The reorganization, intended to save some of the better properties, wiped out more than seventy per cent. of the small stockholders widows, schoolteachers, stenographers, washwomen, scrubwomen all who once had a dollar in the stocking.

Now who but France would bind her municipal documents in heavily tooled, full levant morocco, with grained silk inside covers?
