Near by is a clothes frame filled with nicely ironed clothes. Mrs. Jones. There, thank goodness I've got the last of this ironing done! Mercy on me, its nothing but work, work, work! Same old thing week in, week out. Get up in the morning at five o'clock; slave yourself all day long either washing, ironing, cooking or scrubbing, then when night comes go to bed as tired as a dog. I declare I'm sick to death with it all. (Puts away ironing utensils.) Well, it's no use fretting. I s'pose I orter be thankful instead of complaining, but its purty tough, purty tough! (Rap at door. Mrs. Jones opens it and admits Mrs. Brown.) Mrs. Brown. Good-morning, Mrs. Jones, Hard at work, I suppose, same as ever. You're such a masterhand to dig. Mrs. Jones. Well, we women folks all are, I should say. Yes, I've just finished my week's ironing and am now going down cellar to skim milk so as to be ready for to-morrow's churning. I was just saying to myself when you came in that we women folks get mighty little fun out of life. Did you ever think of it, Mrs. Brown? Mrs. Brown. Did I ever? Of course I have. I've thought on for a good many years, but I hain't said anything about it. We don't never do nothing in this village. Now the men folks go down-town to the store in the evening and spin their yarns and crack their jokes, while we stay at home and mend their stockings most likely. I say its a downright shame. Mrs. Jones. Of course it is, and it makes me hopping mad every time Jonas goes out of that door and starts for the village. I know he's going down to Smith's store to have a real good time; not that I begrudge it to him, but I want to go somewheres myself.
