She was in precisely the same situation, having a comfortable income and one domestic; but her children were much more numerous, and she had had very limited advantages for education.

Yet she managed her family better than any woman I ever saw, or ever expect to see again.

I will relate a scene I witnessed there, by way of contrast to the one I have just described.

Myself and several friends once entered her parlor unexpectedly, just as the family were seated at the supper-table.

A little girl, about four years old, was obliged to be removed, to make room for us.
