She'll do." “What have you found about her?” asked Mr. Bonnamy. “I’ve found that she knows how to use a broom." “How does she use it?’’ "Every three or four strokes she makes with it she turns it in her hand." “Why does she do that?" / "It’s just like a man to ask that question. She does It to keep the broom from getting lop-sided. Wears it out evenly; last twice as long, don't you see?" "Why, I didn’t know—” 9 "No, of course you didn’t.
