"So you cleared the red-headed mug out after all. Andrew says it was alright. You won't listen to me, but you haven't chucked the wash-up water on me yet, that's one thing."

"Tommie's was a yaller automobile." "Why'd you have pictures?" asked Jimmie. "I were going on eleven, but I couldn't read," Cissy confessed. Rose-Ellen patted Jimmie stealthily and didn't tell Cissy that he was going on ten and couldn't read either. Cissy went on with her tale of the Center. There was toothbrush and wash-up drill.

Morrison if she might help her to wash-up. It was on the tip of the good woman's tongue to refuse, and tell her that she must be too tired to stand about any more; but a glance at Eva's face showed that the girl was not tired, and some intuition told her that she had better accept the offer and try and make friends with this girl, who, after all, was only sixteen, and had no one to keep her in order.
"He is most awfully rich, too, and he came into his money quite by a fluke." "What is a fluke?" demanded Billykins, who was catching rainwater in the tin dish in which he had been eating his breakfast, so that he could have a wash-up after his feed.

Twenty dollars to the pan the streak is running, and we know it to be eight feet thick. It is another Klondike and we know it Jim Hawes there, by your elbow, knows it and complains not. And there's Hitchcock! He sews moccasins like an old woman, and waits against the time. Only you can't wait and work until the wash-up in the spring. Then we shall all be rich, rich as kings, only you cannot wait.

But there was more than an East Anglian bluffness in the statement and the manner of its delivery, as his next observation at once explained. "Passen thinks it's over there by the yew-tree but he's wrong. That there one was a wash-up found by old Willem the lighthouse keeper one morning early. No! this is where Frenchman was laid by."
"Iv course the Nora girl was right," he insisted to Harney, both of whom were walking on the heels of Frona and St. Vincent. "I'd be seein' " "Rubber " "Rubber yer gran'mother!" Matt wrathfully exclaimed. "Ez I was sayin'," Harney continued, imperturbably, "rubber boots is goin' to go sky-high 'bout the time of wash-up. Three ounces the pair, an' you kin put your chips on that for a high card.
"I'm fair ready for it, y'r gryce," was the reply, and now the lad's glance went eagerly towards the door, for the tension of labour was relaxed, and hunger was scraping hard at his vitals. "Well, sit down this breakfast isn't cold yet.... But, no, you'd better have a wash-up first, if you can wait," Stafford added, and rang a bell. "Wot, 'ere brekfist wiv y'r gryce 'ere?"
Can't you think of anything else you want?" "I have everything else." "You always shall have." "What was the kitchen like?" Marie asked. "Was it tidy?" "It's the smartest little place." "I'll see it presently, when we wash-up." "You're not going to wash-up." "But, Osborn, I shall have to, often. Every day, you know." He looked a trifle unhappy over this, knitting his brows.
