Maid-of-all-work. "No, sir; please, sir, I clean all the boots, sir!"
Before the Reception.—Lady of the House (instructing new page). "Have you ever been at a party before, Riggles?" Riggles. "Honly as a guest, mum."
Sympathetic.—Young Wife (rather nervously). "Oh, cook, I must really speak to you. Your master is always complaining. One day it is the soup, the second day it is the fish, the third day it is the joint—in fact, it is always something or other." Cook (with feeling). "Well, mum, I'm truly sorry for you. It must be quite hawful to live with a gentleman of that sort."
