Pretending to fall asleep, he watched his wife closely, saw her take a razor to sever the three hairs for the washerwoman's spell, darted up suddenly, wrested the razor from her hands, and with it slew his wife on the spot. The news spread; the relations of the wife united to avenge her death, and kill the husband.
Nobody regarded the two men, who had just put the basket into the washerwoman's cart, and no one heard the words that they softly spoke together. The washerwoman had raised the cover, and was rolling around the clothes, as if she wanted to examine the contents of the basket. "Sire," she whispered, softly, as she did so "sire, do you hear me?" A weak, faint voice replied, "I hear you."
They are as hard as washerwoman's beetles, and his piebald beard would hardly please this centre of bliss, that rose in which lies our wealth, our substance, our loves, and our fortune. Do you know that it is a living flower, which should be fondled thus, and not used like a trombone, or as if it were a catapult of war? Now this was the gentle way of my beloved Englishman."
"I'm going to be comfortable, if " He paused, with a peculiar, startled expression on his face. "Did you hear anything?" he queried after a moment. "No. What?" "Oh, nothing." The two men rode on in silence for a time, then Leslie said: "Queer thing happened back there while those Romeos were popping at me. I heard a baby crying." "A baby?" "Sure. I suppose it was the washerwoman's kid.
The maid was Bess, the washerwoman's daughter; and as she had had one good scolding that morning for oversleeping herself, and another about noon for dawdling with her work, she took up the pail and set off home without delay. But though she held it steadily enough, the bucket shook, and the water spilled hither and thither.
It was so fortunate I met her, wasn't it?" finished Arline plaintively. "For the washerwoman's daughter, yes," returned Grace. "It served me right for buying it. I spend too much money foolishly," said Arline self-accusingly. "I'm going to stop being so reckless. Suppose my father were to lose all his money and I couldn't even come back to college next year? I would, though.
Louise had already great talent for drawing, and in almost every letter came two or three childish but spirited little pictures, all labelled "Drawn for papa!" "The true picture of our courier in a rage, for papa to see." "The washerwoman's dog, for papa," etc., etc.
I was obliged to borrow money of my landlord he's a capital fellow to pay my washerwoman's bill this morning. So don't fall in love with me. I assure you, on my honour, it would be a bad spec." "Don't be alarmed," returned the dark-eyed girl, evidently much pleased with her odd companion. "Are you very young?" "I was never young. My mother told me that I had cut my wisdom-teeth when I was born.
"Well, I believe I never thought once of Fanny Meyrick's going to Europe too until she joined us on the road that day you remember? at the washerwoman's gate." "Yes; and do you remember how Fidget and I barked at her with all our hearts?" "I was piqued then at the air of ownership Fanny seemed to assume in you.
"Now I will give you a piece of good news. They're to have a new janitor next week. I learned that yesterday. The present one is too easy. He'll be out long before I'm ready to show myself there; and so will the woman who took care of the poor washerwoman's little child. I'd not have risked her curiosity. Luck isn't all against us. How does Mr. Challoner feel about it?"
