Excerpt from Children of Gibeon Sit down, Hester, and let us talk. It is seventeen years since you saw me last.' It isn't the time I grudge, my lady, ' Hester replied, plunging her bare arms into the soap-suds it isn't the time, but the things are promised, and a laundress's word is her work. If she breaks her word, it's leave the things and change the washing. And a lovely drying day.' She spoke with two pins between her lips. People Of her walk in life, unless they happen to be Chinamen, always while they are standing at the wash-tub carry two pins in the corner of the mouth - they are not even safety pins; and the practice gives them for the time a curious thickness of speech.
