[Trials and Confessions of a Housekeeper by T. S. Arthur]@TWC D-Link bookTrials and Confessions of a Housekeeper CHAPTER XIV 2/7
Honest was the pride with which I have surveyed these industrious efforts, and sincere the thought that I had really accomplished something.
Depositing the various articles where the wearers elect would find them, I have retired to rest; almost angry with Mr.Smith, who was asleep hours before me--asleep as unconcernedly as if an indestructible substance fabric had been invented for children's clothing. Well, after such a night's work, imagine me waking, with a complacent and happy sensation that, my work having been _done_ on the day before, the morning is open for new employment.
Down stairs I come, full of the thoughts of the confusion I shall heap on Mr. Smith's head.
He, observe, told me, as he left me to retire, that I had much better go to bed, for all my work would amount to nothing but loss of necessary rest.
I am ready to show him triumphant evidence to the contrary, in the clothes, as good as new, in which his children are habited.
