If you were company of course we couldn't let you, but you are a member of the family. Our principal concern must be to keep mother's 'high thoughts' from grime; ours must just take their chance!" IF YOU WERE COMPANY OF COURSE WE COULDN'T LET YOU BUT YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY OUR PRINCIPAL CONCERN MUST BE TO KEEP MOTHER'S HIGH THOUGHTS IN GRIME OURS MUST TAKE THEIR CHANCE
icious desire to wash Julia's supercilious face and neat nose with the dishcloth, fresh from the frying pan. She knew that she could not grasp those irritating "high thoughts" and apply the grime of daily living to them concretely and actually, but Julia's face was within her reach, and Nancy's fingers tingled with desire. No trace of this savage impulse appeared in her behavior, however; she rinsed the dishpan, turned it upside down in the sink, and gave the wiping towels to Julia, asking her to wring them out in hot water and hang them on the barberry bushes, according to Mrs. Carey's instructions. "It doesn't seem as if I could!" whimpered Julia. "I have always been so sensitive, and dish towels are so disgusting! They do _smell_, Nancy!" "They do," said Nancy sternly, "but they will smell worse if they are not washed! I give you the dish-wiping and take the washing, just to save your hands, but you must turn and turn about with Kathleen and me with some of the ugly, hateful things. T THIS MOMENT SHE HAD A REALLY VICIOUS DESIRE TO WASH JULIA'S SUPERCILIOUS FACE AND NEAT NOSE WITH THE DISHCLOTH FRESH FROM THE FRYING PAN SHE KNEW SHE COULD NOT GRASP THOSE IRRITATING HIGH THOUGHTS AND APPLY THE CRIME OF DAILY LIVING TO THEM CONCRETELY AND ACTUALLY BUT JULIA'S FACE WAS WITHIN HER REACH AND NANCY'S FINGERS TINGLED WITH DESIRE NO TRACE OF THIS SAVAGE IMPULSE APPEARED IN HER BEHAVIOR HOWEVER SHE RINSED THE DISH PAN TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN IN THE SINK AND GAVE THE WIPING TOWELS TO JULIA ASKING HER TO BRING THEM OUT IN HOT WATER AND HANG THEM ON THE BARBERRY BUSHES ACCORDING TO MISSUS CAREY'S INSTRUCTIONS IT DOESN'T SEEM AS IF I COULD WHIMPERED JULIA I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO SENSITIVE AND THE DISH TOWELS ARE SO DISGUSTING THEY DO SMELL NANCY THEY DO SAID NANCY STERNLY BUT THEY WILL SMELL WORSE IF THEY'RE NOT WASHED I'LL GIVE YOU THE DISH WIPING AND TAKE THE WASHING JUST TO SAVE YOUR HANDS BUT YOU MUST TURN AND TURN ABOUT WITH KATHLEEN AND ME WITH SOME OF THE UGLY HATEFUL THINGS
