water-mill's

Updated: May 8, 2025

The water-mill's sluices were opened, and the current was strong; the washing-stool was nearly carried away by it, and the laundress had hard work to strive against it. "I am very near taking a voyage," she said, "and it is so cold out in the water; for six hours have I been standing here. Have you anything for me?" and the boy drew forth a phial, which his mother put to her lips.
