"Room To Let For A Single Gentleman." Sometimes In An Idle Hour,
Impelled By Foolishness, I Will Knock At The Door. It Is Opened After
A Longer Or Shorter Interval By The "Slavey"--In The Morning,
Slatternly, Her Arms Concealed Beneath Her Apron; In The Afternoon,
Smart In Dirty Cap And Apron. How Well I Know Her! Unchanged, Not
Grown An Inch--Her Round Bewildered Eyes, Her Open Mouth, Her Touzled
Hair, Her Scored Red Hands.
