'You get along and leave me to my wittles! he said with the smile of a schoolboy; 'I don't spy on you when you're at your meals. David crossed his arms. 'I shall have to send Lucy down every morning to housekeep with Mrs. Elsley, he said firmly.
So you'll be quite surrounded by friends, not to say adherents." "Call on me to housekeep for you at any time," cried Polly gayly. "I'll begin to roll up my sleeves as soon as I get dressed to- morrow." That weird three-part drama in the plaza which had so puzzled Miss Polly Brewster had developed in this wise:
My youngest daughter has married Mark Wilson against my will, an' gone away from town, an' the older one's chosen a husband still less to my likin'. Do you want to come and housekeep for me?" "I surmised something was going on," re-turned Mrs. Tillman. "I saw Patty and Mark drive away early this morning, with Mr. and Mrs.
"I would housekeep for you, and you could work as much as you pleased. Our life would be a long idyll." "My love," he said, shaking his head as she looked beseechingly at him, "I have too much Manchester cotton in my constitution for long idylls.

I am so glad you made me learn how to housekeep and to cook, because I am certain that I shall have greater need of both of these accomplishments than of either drawing or music.

It is hard to housekeep on a small allowance, and now that we have to save for the baby's coming, I have to count every penny.
We will still be husband and wife; we will take a small lodging, and you shall housekeep and live in-doors. I, as the rougher and the more alert, will continue my father's trade, and seek work at the tailors' shops." I could think of no better plan, so we followed this out. In a back street at Frankfort we found two furnished rooms to let on a sixth story.
