"We are so glad when your Herbert comes to play with Florchen." Mrs. Rabinowich turns the love of her face upon the children who do not attend her. A grey long face, bitterly pock-marked, in a glow of love. "Look what your Herbert brought her," Meyer sews and smiles. "A toy. He shouldn't, now. Such a thing costs money." Mrs. Rabinowich puts an anxious finger to her lips. "Don't," she whispers.
She breakfasts at eight, she does "Mangnall's Questions" with the governess till ten, she practises till one, she walks in the square with bars round her till two, then she practises again, then she sews or hems, or reads French, or Hume's "History," then she comes down to play to papa, because he likes music whilst he is asleep after dinner, and then it is bed-time, and the morrow is another day with what are called the same "duties" to be gone through.
But he would tote the grant in one hand an' the deedie in t'other. He couldn't put the deedie in one o' his pockets, 'kase his mother sews 'em all up, bein' ez he WOULD kerry sech a passel o' heavy truck in 'em, rocks an' sech, reg'lar bowlders," added Rufe, with a casual remembrance of the museum in his own pockets.
The more thorough my examination into the facts of the case, the more I am convinced that the sweating system is demoralizing the entire clothing trade, as it will every trade it touches.

"First, an infirm old aunt is kept very happy by the patient, cheerful care of this good-for-nothing niece. Secondly, a crotchety uncle, for whom she reads, runs, writes, and sews so willingly that he cannot get on without her. Thirdly, various relations who are helped in various ways.
The first is the delicate bill of the bird itself, and the latter is the strong fibre of the bark of a tree, with which the bird sews every leaf, lapping one over the other in the same manner that slates are laid upon a roof.
"You need another man around." There was a short silence. Then, "Dallas likes the work outside," she answered, very low, "and driving Ben and Betty up and down." He nodded. "But you?" "I like to stay in and sew." "'Stay in and sew," he mused. "That takes me back to the States. My dear mother sits by the fire and sews.
