"It wouldn't be a picnic without a kettle and a fire; and we must have hot water to wash up with. I brought a dish-cloth on purpose," said Sarah. "I can't think why you don't enjoy yourself. You used to be fond of eating and drinking anywhere and most of all on the moor in the good old days that are gone." "I am not a philosopher like you," said Peter, angrily.
"I ain't goin' to have Sally Drew. Last time I had her she washed up the hearth with the dish-cloth. If I want me a girl, I'll get one; but mebbe I sha'n't want one till Hermie brings Annie into the neighborhood to live."

Then he insisted on leaving a bottle out of which I am to take a dose every three hours on the journey home. I did not know old Dick was such a crank." "Probably it is the result of sitting in a tub and being scrubbed with a dish-cloth. Did he know you were coming here?"
How the juices of high living roll from her brow as she stoops down, and gives the unfortunate St. Nicholas a greasy dish-cloth of her fat lips! Faugh!
