On sweeping days we worked very hard, and enjoyed the fun.

If Mrs.Morris was too far away to call to Mary for what she wanted, she wrote the name on a piece of paper, and told us to take it to her.
Billy always took the letters from the postman, and carried the morning paper up to Mr.Morris's study, and I always put away the clean clothes.
After they were mended, Mrs.Morris folded each article and gave it to me, mentioning the name of the owner, so that I could lay it on his bed.
There was no need for her to tell me the names.

I knew by the smell.

All human beings have a strong smell to a dog, even though they mayn't notice it themselves.

Mrs.Morris never knew how she bothered me by giving away Miss Laura's clothes to poor people.
