Bill's job was in the wash-room, and the men had been called out first, that morning, in order to stiffen the courage of the girls; and Bill chanced to be near the door to the mangle-room when Mary Condon started to enter. The superintendent, who was both large and stout, barred her way. He wasn't going to have his girls called out, and he'd teach her a lesson to mind her own business.
"Alas," thought the good mother, "is this child going to live over again those dreadful days of her babyhood? The Lord give me wisdom to know what to do with her!" Mrs. Parlin soon succeeded in quieting the turbulent Dotty; and deep silence fell upon the wash-room. "My dear little girl," said she, very gently, "I desire you to spend the rest of the morning alone.
Scott ordered his own breakfast and was slowly eating it when he noticed through the little mirror, and above and beyond the heads of the busy breakfasters along the serving-counter, a large man in the wash-room scrubbing his face vigorously with a towel.
"All right," replied the left-guard, working a bunch of bleeding knuckles experimentally. "It was hot work, though. Can we hold them next half, Hall?" "Sure! They're as tired as we are, I guess. Besides, we had them on the run there toward the last." Tom dragged himself off to the wash-room to bathe his leg with the cotton Steve had brought. "Ten minutes more," announced Lawrence.
And he walked away toward the wash-room to cleanse his ponderous pink hands of chalk-dust. "That's what's the matter with Plank," observed O'Hara to Fleetwood as Plank disappeared.

Dan, she knew, would rather sit all evening in wet clothes than take the trouble to put on dry ones. He tried to sneak past her to his own quarters behind the wash-room, and looked aggrieved when he heard her message. "I ain't got no other outside clothes, except my Sunday ones," he objected. "Well, Claude says he'll go out if anybody has to.

Above were hooks for towels. Katy perceived that this was the much- dreaded wash-room. "Our lavatory," remarked Mrs.
The latter, after picking himself up, went to the wash-room and staunched the blood flowing from his nose, which Barton's blow had made more bulbous than usual, washed all traces from his face, and then left; but before he did so, he vowed he would be even with him yet.
One day we went down to the round-house of the Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railroad and connected up the long wash-tank in the room with the coil, one electrode being connected to earth. Above this wash-room was a flat roof. We bored a hole through the roof, and could see the men as they came in. The first man as he entered dipped his hands in the water.
Once she knew that she was able to break away from the scrub-rag, that specter of the wash-room, and the bleak, frosted glass on the semi-partition in front of her desk, no wage could have helped her. Every moment here was an edged agony. In this refusal there may have been a trace of aspiration.
