Laundry Quote by Donna Kauffman
““She pondered the best way to handle the laundry situation after they got back to dock. If she thought she’d been a bit pink cheeked to have Thomas see her in her glorified napkin dress, it didn’t come close to the potential for mortification when she delivered him a stack of freshly washed sheets and towels tomorrow. “Yep, that’ll be fun.” But if that was the price for the day, then it was one she was willing to pay.””
