Nancy came and went, to work on the next morning.

Of course, Ann did not come back; and as it was Hannah's last day, she felt privileged to have more headache than was consistent with cleaning paint or scrubbing floors.

The work went on, therefore, very slowly.
Saturday night found us without cook or chamber-maid, and with only two rooms in order in the whole house, viz.

our chambers on the second story.

By great persuasion, Nancy was induced to stay during Sunday and cook for us.
An advertisement in the newspaper on Monday morning, brought us a couple of raw Irish girls, who were taken as better than nobody at all.
