Gilbert and Nancy let go of You Dirty Boy simultaneously, and he fell to the floor in two large fragments, the break occurring so happily that the mother and the washcloth were on one half, and the boy on the other,a situation long desired by the boy, to whom the parting was most welcome!

Joe was lying with his eyes closed, arms outstretched, when he felt a washcloth gently but firmly applied.

Suzanne came in with a washcloth that she doubled and placed across his forehead and eyes.

He relaxed into the coolness of the washcloth as sounds floated in and out of consciousness.

Her waist was a washcloth, her skirt was a towel, She looked down at him with a horrible scowl; One hand was a brush and the other a comb, Her forehead was soap and her pompadour foam!
