4. A “Watercress Girl” I always give mother my money, she's sovery good to me. She don't often beat me; but,when she do, she don't play with me. She'svery poor, and goes out cleaning rooms sometimes, now she don't work at the fur. I ain'tgot no father, he's a father-in-law. No; motherain'tmarried again -- he's a father-in-law. Hegrinds scissors, and he's very good to me. No;I dont mean by that that he says kind things tome, for he never hardly speaks. When I getshome, after selling creases, I stops at home. Iputs the room to rights: mother don't make medo it, I does it myself. I cleans the chairs,though there's only two to clean. I takes a tuband scrubbing-brush and flannel, and scrubs thefloor -- that's what I do three or four times aweek.
