The three Rover boys reached the Stanhope cottage on a run, to find nobody in charge but a washwoman, who was hanging up some clothing in the back yard. Explaining the situation so far as was necessary, they went inside and hunted up the note Mrs. Stanhope had mentioned. "I believe that is Dan Baxter's writing," said Dick slowly. "It is," came from Sam.
Philippina was the mistress of the house. She went to the market, paid the bills, superintended the cook and the washwoman, and rejoiced with exceeding great and fiendish joy when she saw how rapidly everything was going downhill, downhill irresistibly and as sure as your life. As the time approached for Dorothea’s confinement she very rarely left the house.
The snow began to fall on Mitch's grave and Little Billie's; and still we went on. Delia got the meals as before; the washwoman came and did the washing on Monday; pa was buying wood for the stoves; we had to be fitted out for winter. Grandma and grandpa came in to see us, cheerful and kind as they always were.
She knows that if the best she can do is marry a fellow of her own class, why she'd only get left if she played any tricks with them cheap skates that have to get married or go without because they're too poor to pay for anything and by marrying can get that and a cook and a washwoman and mender besides and maybe, too, somebody who can go out and work if they're laid up sick.
I did it the night Sara Westervelt was there, and somebody stole the ice cream. That's why you weren't invited." Up-stairs the rest of the "old guard" were sitting on boxes, trunks and the floor, waiting to say good-bye to Betty and meanwhile being entertained by Madeline Ayres, who was giving a lively account of her experience with a washwoman.
"Yet as every work a woman does has a man for its end I learned that from the classics; Penelope, you know, and even washwoman Nausicaae I suppose it is fair to assume this had. Only who is the man?" Helen flushed slightly.
He took to sitting more and more in his kitchen bedroom, smoking a comforting pipe and reading and re-reading the evening paper. During that winter he and Canary, the negro washwoman, became quite good friends. She washed down in the basement once a week but came up to the kitchen for her massive lunch. A walrus-waisted black woman, with a rich throaty voice, a rolling eye, and a kindly heart.
Gertrude heard Daniel playing the piano. She raised her head to hear what he was playing. “She told me I was to go with her to Glaishammer to get a washwoman for you,” continued Philippina. “Ah, what do we want with a washwoman?” said Gertrude; “we cannot afford one. It costs a great deal of money, and every cent of money spent means a drop of blood from Daniel’s veins. Don’t go to Glaishammer!
Half a dozen people the wild-game peddler, the man with the broad-brimmed hat, the washwoman, and three other men were in the front room of the junk shop, a bank of excited faces surged at the door. Beyond this, outside, the crowd was packed solid from one end of the alley to the other.
Once, in a temper, "Invisible is right," she had said, slangily. They had occupied the four-room apartment for five years. Cora declared it was getting beyond her. "You can't get any decent help. The washwoman acts as if she was doing me a favour coming from eight to four, for four dollars and eighty-five cents. And yesterday she said she couldn't come to clean any more on Saturdays.
