"She'd work her to death, anyway," she agreed. "She's mighty inhuman under her soft outside. Her help don't hear much of her purry ways, I can tell you. That's why they're always leaving. No, Mrs. Hand won't do." She sighed in perplexity. "I wish we were well enough off to keep her ourselves. I've taken a liking to her quiet ways, and I'd enjoy having her about, I'm sure. Most country girls are so loud and clumping that I've never wanted help before, but she's mighty different.",CHAPTER VI,“Jeremias the wood-cutter is ill in bed, too,” he said suddenly.，Something like a muffled chuckle came from behind the stairway door, but the good woman, intent on her grievance, did not hear it.
