Sunday

She doesn’t work Sundays, but lies around all tired out, and likes to

have the fish wallow over her; and she makes fool noises to amuse it,

and pretends to chew its paws, and that makes it laugh. I have not seen

a fish before that could laugh. This makes me doubt…. I have come to

like Sunday myself. Superintending all the week tires a body so. There

ought to be more Sundays. In the old days they were tough, but now they

come handy.
