Soldiers' Wives
Jests Home

new laundress, a decent-looking woman was recommended to the situation.

highness, as she is a soldier's wife, and these people are generally
loose characters!--What is it you say? said the duke, who had just
entered the room, a soldier's wife! Pray, madam, what is your
mistress? I desire that the woman may be immediately engaged.
