Quite unconsciously Nance began to keep time. It was such glorious fun playing at being animals and fairies in the woods at night. Without realizing what she was doing, she dropped into what she used to call in the old sweat-shop days, "dancin' settin' down."
Born feudists became snipers, counter jumpers became fencibles, yokels became drillmasters, sweat-shop hands became sharpshooters, aliens became Americans, an ex-janitor Austrian-born became a captain, a rabble became an organised unit; the division became a tempered mettlesome lance springy, sharp and dependable.
These legal regulations persist in spite of the well-known fact that the mass of girls enter a disreputable life below the age of eighteen. In equal suffrage states important issues regarding women and children, whether of the sweat-shop or the brothel, have always brought out the women voters in great numbers.
A motley troupe were the cattlemen Jews with small trunks, large imitation-leather valises and assorted bundles, a stolid prophet-bearded procession of weary men in tattered derbies and sweat-shop clothes. There were Englishmen with rope-bound pine chests.

"Well," said Mrs. Snawdor, "companions ain't in my line, but I got sense enough to know that when a woman's so mean she's got to pay somebody to keep her company, the job ain't no cinch." Nance's new duties, compared with those at the bottle factory, and the sweat-shop seemed, at first, mere child's play.
He was a fat stuff, a sweat-shop manufacturer, they would bet; let him walk and sweat.
