She went to the door and opened it. There was nobody there. "I thought somebody knocked," thought she, a little mystified. "Perhaps I was mistaken."

Excerpt: ... at the front door. Taking her hands from the tub, she wiped them on her apron. "I wish folks wouldn't come on washing day!" she said in a tone of vexation. She went to the door and opened it. There was nobody there. "I thought somebody knocked," thought she, a little mystified. "Perhaps I was mistaken."

"It's that plaguy boy again," said Mrs. Mudge, furiously. "I won't go this time, but if he knocks again, I'll fix him."
