Chores

(1980 memoirs)
[Lucretia Clapp's college girl] Edna would get up early and get the wash on the line before leaving for college -- hurry hone at night to clean and cook supper, and studied after the dishes were done.  I think there was a college boy too, who shoveled walks, fired the furnace, carried out ashes, mowed the lawn, and did what needed to be done.
