One day the chimney required sweeping, and determined to save the expense she borrowed the brushes of her brother, who is a sweep, and managed to do tiie task herself. At the suggestion of her neighbours she later took on orders for the work. "Since then/' she. said, 'T have hud plenty ol work. For the first five years i never had a day without an order."" She declared that her complexion had not suffered from the soot, but had improved, although she had been advised to wear a respirator.
