All the hard work falls on my shoulders in this house.

Let me alone, Mr.Betteredge!" The person here mentioned as Rosanna was our second housemaid.

Having a kind of pity for our second housemaid (why, you shall presently know), and seeing in Nancy's face, that she would fetch her fellow-servant in with more hard words than might be needful under the circumstances, it struck me that I had nothing particular to do, and that I might as well fetch Rosanna myself; giving her a hint to be punctual in future, which I knew she would take kindly from ME.
"Where is Rosanna ?" I inquired.
"At the sands, of course!" says Nancy, with a toss of her head.

"She had another of her fainting fits this morning, and she asked to go out and get a breath of fresh air.

I have no patience with her!" "Go back to your dinner, my girl," I said.
