"But what have you to show, my dear fellow, what proofs?" "Anything you please! But you don't suppose I am going to undertake to prove that I am noble. It is for you to prove the contrary." "That's easily done. You have manufactured wash-tubs." Newman stared a moment. "Therefore I am not noble? I don't see it. Tell me something I have NOT done something I cannot do."
No sooner did Philip Sheldon float the Non-destructive Laundry Company, the admirable organization of which would offer a guarantee against the use of chloride of lime and other destructive agencies in the wash-tub, than a rival power launched a colourable imitation thereof, in the Union-is-Strength Domestic Lavatory Company, with a professor of chemistry specially retained as inspector of wash-tubs.
She was always invited to the entertainments at the homes of the Worthingtons and the Conklins, who had stationary wash-tubs in the basements of their houses, and who ate dinner instead of supper in the evening; and when she put on what the boys called her trotting harness, her silk petticoats rustled louder than any others at the party.
If he went out, all worry would be at an end, and that would be something. What a mess he had made of things! He did not blame the Italian. A duel! he, the son of a man who had invented wash-tubs, was going to fight a duel! He wanted to laugh; he wanted to cry. Wasn't he just dreaming? Wasn't it all a nightmare out of which he would presently awake?
Saddles and spinning-wheels, an ox-yoke and trace-chains, reels and wash-tubs, were incongruously pushed together in the corners. Only one of the three men in the room made any effort to reduce the confusion to order.
These bambinos hooked against the wall look down upon curious scenes. Their mothers bring their wash-tubs into the street, wash the clothes in plain view of everybody, hang them on clothes-lines strung between two chairs, while a diminutive charcoal-stove, with half a dozen irons leaning against its sides, stands in the doorway ready to perform its part in the little scene.
"It was certainly a dandy coincidence for me," Allen agreed, "but I don't quite follow you back to the kid games we played." "Why, Allen!" Alice reproached him, "have you forgotten the motor rides you and I took with wash-tubs, turned upside down, for seats, and the remnant of your express-wagon for a steering-wheel? My! how fast we used to go!" "That's so!" he admitted.
Kellett, get your aunt’s letter and read the directions for cooking that rice again.’ "The cook didn’t need a second invitation, and they got into their saddles, cook and all, and went for the antelope. "Now antelope are not like stationary wash-tubs; they move about.
"We are too busy here to get out very much ourselves, but we do like company 'awfully bad, as Peace used to say. I hope you come soon. The children will be ready for Cecile Saturday when she gets here. Good-bye, I am sorry you must go so soon. Come again, Cecile." The girls were gone, and Gail went back to her wash-tubs in a daze.
But then we have got something to look forward to in t'other world there'll be no wash-tubs and no district visitors there, with their texts and high-falutin' nonsense." Anna laughed merrily. In her quiet way she had a strong sense of humour. "I think I like Mrs. Parker, Malcolm." "Verity liked her too; she always says that she owes a great deal to her motherly care.
