When I rose in the morning after leaving Habarofka the steward was ready with his usual pitcher of water and basin. In Siberia they have a novel way of performing ablutions. They rarely furnish a wash-bowl, but in place of it bring a large basin of brass or other metal. If you wish to wash hands or face the basin is placed where you can lean over it.
I should like to give them a good scrub all round." "Well, why don't you?" "How can I? There isn't any wash-bowl down at the school-room." "If you liked you might have them all come here at ten o'clock, and walk down with you. Then you could take them up to your room, wash their faces and hands, and brush their hair smooth before you start.
Factory faces have a look of their own, not only their common dinginess, and a general air of being in a hurry to find the wash-bowl, but an appearance of restlessness, often of envious restlessness, not habitual in most departments of "healthy labor." Watch them closely: you can read their histories at a venture.
And, Kenny, I told Hannah, that I'm going to marry you and she cried and kissed me and and poured a wash-bowl full of tea for Hughie to wash his hands in!" "The heart of her!" said Kenny. "Come, girleen. The tea's ready. I want to see you pour it." He watched with his heart in his eyes while she poured his tea.
The ceaseless rattle of speckled gray wrapping-paper, the stamp of feet on the gray cement floor, the greasy gray hair of the packer next to him, the yellow-stained, cracked, gray wash-bowl that served for thirty men, such was his food for dreams. Because his muscles were made of country earth and air he distanced the packers from the slums, however.
"Bless me! what a boy!" fell from the lips of Mrs. Howland, as she pushed open the door and saw the disordered condition of the room. The chairs were scattered about the apartment, and through the caning of one of them was a large hole. The wash-bowl and pitcher were on the floor, and a good deal of water spilled around.
You had to," she whispered, and closed her eyes. "How is the baby prince?" she asked, after a minute, jumping out of bed. "He's lively, but I expect he's as hungry as you are. What's he going to have?" "Meat," replied Gladys, looking admiringly at the pretty little creature. "I brought in my wash-bowl for your bath. I suppose princes can't be disturbed," said Ellen.
The tub need not be more than four feet long, and a half-cover raised by a hinge will, when down, hold wash-bowl and pitcher, when the tub is not in use. Around the bedroom high and wide shelves and shelf-boxes near the ceiling serve to store large articles; and narrower shelves with pegs under them for clothing, protected by a curtain, furnish other conveniences for storage.
Why, taken the wash- bowl and filled it with water, placed it on the floor, stretched himself out at full length on the floor also, and, with a pillow at his shoulders, laid the back of his head into the wash-bowl.
Sam dropped a wash-bowl on my toe and I went to bed with an arnica compress. I limped out in time to be on hand before Miss Cobb got there, but what with a chilblain on my heel and hardly any sleep for two nights not to mention my toe I wasn't any too pleasant. "It's my opinion you're overeating, Minnie," Miss Cobb said. "You're skin's a sight!" "You needn't look at it," I retorted.
