But she was not a poor washerwoman. Not at all. She was a washerwoman triumphant. She had perfect health, an enormous frame, an abounding enthusiasm for life, and a rich abundance of professional pride.
Drat the old picture what has come over her I wonder she'll be asking old Aunt Charity, the black washerwoman to dine with her next. She has either gone crazy or turned abolitionist, I don't know which; something has happened to her, that's certain." "Now, Charlie," said Mrs. Bird, as the door closed upon the crest-fallen gardener, "go to your room and dress yourself nicely.
Her name is in all the Charity Lists. The destitute orange-girl, the neglected washerwoman, the distressed muffin-man find in her a fast and generous friend. She is always having stalls at Fancy Fairs for the benefit of these hapless beings. Emmy, her children, and the Colonel, coming to London some time back, found themselves suddenly before her at one of these fairs.
Kyley was bantering Wallis with boisterous good-fellowship. 'The idea of an officer of your penetration, sergeant, mistaking a poor washerwoman's tent for a grog-shop. The poor washerwoman does a big business, Mrs. Kyley. 'Not amongst the police, Sergeant Wallis. It is a miserable living a washerwoman would make out of them.
"She spent last night at a hotel that charged twelve dollars a day, and then she told me about her washerwoman! Now she's gone back to her beautiful home, with servants and a governess and a piano and everything else she wants! And she talked to me about 'occupation'! What right had she to come here and trample on my face?" "But why did you let her, dearest?" "How could I help myself?

But when so many neglect to pay her regularly" "Neglect to pay their washerwoman!"
"But I won't have it announced in any terms. Leave that alone, and I will try to speak at the prayer meeting." "It won't be in the least worth your while except we announce it. You won't have a soul to hear you but the pew openers, the woman that cleans the chapel, Mrs Marshal's washerwoman, and the old greengrocer we buy our vegetables from. We must really announce it."

And yet it had felt very smart as Madam Liberality drove in the carrier's cart to meet the coach at the outset of her journey.
"But," said the trooper, "my orders are, to let the washerwoman pass in and out, as she pleases." "Well, let her then; but be careful that this wily peddler does not get out in the folds of her petticoats." He then continued his walk, giving similar orders to each of the sentinels near the spot.
She therefore poured out a glass of her morning beverage, and handed it to her companion as a peace offering. "A few warm words between fri'nds are a trifle, ye must be knowing, sargeant," said the washerwoman. "It was Michael Flanagan that I ever calumn'ated the most when I was loving him the best." "Michael was a good soldier and a brave man," said the trooper, finishing the glass.
