MRS. MUNNING. It's been Thursday a long time.
SALLY. You never said no hour. And mother said to me, she says——
MRS. MUNNING. Never mind what she said. You take hold of that duster and let me see you shape.
SALLY. Yes, Mrs. Munning. (She takes it and dusts at mantel.)
MRS. MUNNING. Take care of those ornaments now, Sally.
SALLY. Now don't you fret yourself. I'm not the breaking sort. You can stop my wages for all I'm like to break.
MRS. MUNNING. That's of course.
SALLY. I was telling you. Mother, she says to me, you stay at home for your dinner, she says, and that'll save Mrs. Munning a bit; and I stayed willing because we'd trotters to-day and they're a dish that I've a relish for.
MRS. MUNNING. You could have gone home to your dinner.
SALLY. And I couldn't. Not when I'd once begun with you. Meals and all, you said, and a bargain's a bargain.
