Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 94
On Friday, dusting-rag in hand, We hurry up the sweeping,And air the household furnitureWhile Dolly still is sleeping.We dust the mantels and the chairs,The closet-shelves afld kitchen stairs, And shake the rugs and portieres Like truly-true housekeeping. … On Saturday we bake our bread,Enough to last till Monday,With sugar-pies and apple-tarts For Dollys dinner Sunday;With doughnuts round as napkin rings, And cookies fit for queens and kings— For oh! it takes just lots of things To feed a dolly one day!
