Not a bad sort of job if one had a suitable spot to work in; but a laundry, a steamy, soapy, wet-woolens-smelling laundry is not a comfortable place to sew.

"That’s the kind of book for me," continued Mrs. Yellett, vigorously swishing about in the soapy water. "Story-books don’t count none with me these days. It’s my opinion that things are snarled up a whole lot too much in real life without pestering over the anguish of print folks.
But while M'Ginnis stood scowling at the imperturbable speaker, Spike rose, a little unsteadily, and turned to the door. "I'll be gettin' on me way, Bud," said he. "Where to?" "Home." "What!
