She quietly opened one of the windows, and having resumed her seat, she pulled a wash-rag from her leather bag and began knitting calmly. She waited for some time, occasionally glancing at the long table, which was covered with what appeared to be a hopeless confusion of letters, legal documents, and books opened and turned face downward.
At last a policeman took them in charge." "Think of mamma being actually arrested! That's worse than anything that's ever happened to me," said Cricket. "That's your good fortune," laughed grandma. "Your wash-rag isn't getting along very fast, is it? I thought you were going to knit as I talk." "Oh, I am! I am!" cried Cricket, scrabbling up her wash-rag, which she had entirely forgotten.
"That hymn about 'Hand Around the Wash-rag. I've heard you a-singin' it." "Hand around the wash-rag! Why Billy Ruggles, what can you mean?" "Yes," insisted Billy, who had a good ear for music in his poor, cracked head. "You was singin' it las' night." "I can't imagine what you mean, Billy. When we were on the piazza, do you mean? We didn't sing anything about wash-rags, I'm sure.
Really, I shall be tempted to sprain my ankle again, Jean, if it brings me such a dear little nurse." "We've had a lovely time, I think," said Cricket, giving her dear, comforting grandma a prodigious hug. "Let's have a knitting bee again, sometime, grandma. Perhaps, I'd get my wash-rag done this summer if we did."
"Well, do as you like; but that reminds me that when next you go to town you'll need to get a new glass for that miniature of your sister. You must have dozed off with it in your hands last night and dropped it. I found it this morning on the floor alongside of your chair, with the glass broken." She rose triumphantly, as she knitted the last stitch of the wash-rag.
"They won't be here for hours, and I will be just like a wash-rag." Nor was Larry enjoying the picnic. The material comforts in the form of sandwiches, cakes and pies, gloriously culminating in lemonade and ice cream, while contributing a temporary pleasure, could not obliterate a sense of misery wrought in him by Miss Hazel's chilly indifference.
Teddy had never deserved this terrible fate, but he did not like the Cold Lairs, where his little crash wash-rag and his tiny toothbrush glimmered at him in the half-light, and where he always smelled the raw smell of the lemon his mother kept to whiten her hands. He idolized his mother; they had a separate game for every hour and every undertaking of his happy day.
I can see my pupils coming forward to speak their "pieces." I hardly knew them and they hardly knew me, for we were "dressed up." Many a head showed father had mowed it with the sheepshears. Mother had been busy with the wash-rag clear back of the ears! And into them! So many of them wore collars that stuck out all stiff like they had pushed their heads on thru their big straw hats.
She seemed to find more stimulus for thought and more helpful diversion in the production of one wash-rag than most persons find in a trip abroad. One day, not very long after the eventful missionary tea, she was sitting in her garden, and knitting more rapidly than usual, as she said to Maxwell: "What's been the matter with you these last few weeks?
Bathe moderately and gently in lukewarm water, using a wash-rag in preference to a sponge; dry gently and thoroughly. Children's ears are often rudely washed, especially in the auditory canal. This is not at all necessary to cleanliness, and may result in a local inflammation. Never shout suddenly in a person's ear. The ear is not prepared for the shock, and deafness has occasionally resulted.
