Maid Quote by Maggie Robinson

“I’m not afraid of hard work. But I’m just one woman and your house needs more. Work, that is. Not a woman. Women. No, that’s just what it does need,” she babbled. This was not quite as easy as she thought. “I don’t suppose you could hire a maid or two to help me?” quote by Maggie Robinson
