Three women were got to help; and such scrubbing, such brushing, such washing of paint and beating of carpets, such taking down and putting up of pictures, such polishing of mirrors and lustres, such lighting of fires in bedrooms, such airing of sheets and feather-beds on hearths, I never beheld, either before or since.
Tres mujeres fueron contratadas para ayudar en las tareas, y hubo fregado, barrido, sacudido de alfombras, limpieza de espejos, preparación de chimeneas y lavado de ropas de cama, como no viera en mi vida.
