Rose had all the points of a good servant, phrenologically and physiologically.

She had a large head, with great bumps of caution and order, her eyes were large and soft and far apart.

In selecting her, scientifically, I had told my husband, in triumph, several times what a treasure I had found.

Shortly after dinner, one evening when I was out, she held the baby while the nurse was eating her supper, and carelessly burned his foot against the stove.

Then Mr.Stanton suggested that, in selecting the next cook, I would better not trust to science, but inquire of the family where she lived as to her practical virtues.
