"
And
me
out
of
a
job
,
"
Joe
answered
seriously
.
"
I
don
’
t
know
nothin
’
but
laundrying
.
"
"
And
you
know
it
well
.
"
"
I
ought
to
.
Began
in
the
Contra
Costa
in
Oakland
when
I
was
eleven
,
shakin
’
out
for
the
mangle
.
That
was
eighteen
years
ago
,
an
’
I
’
ve
never
done
a
tap
of
anything
else
.
But
this
job
is
the
fiercest
I
ever
had
.
Ought
to
be
one
more
man
on
it
at
least
.
We
work
to
-
morrow
night
.
Always
run
the
mangle
Wednesday
nights
—
collars
an
’
cuffs
.
"
Martin
set
his
alarm
,
drew
up
to
the
table
,
and
opened
Fiske
.
He
did
not
finish
the
first
paragraph
.
The
lines
blurred
and
ran
together
and
his
head
nodded
.
He
walked
up
and
down
,
batting
his
head
savagely
with
his
fists
,
but
he
could
not
conquer
the
numbness
of
sleep
.
He
propped
the
book
before
him
,
and
propped
his
eyelids
with
his
fingers
,
and
fell
asleep
with
his
eyes
wide
open
.
Then
he
surrendered
,
and
,
scarcely
conscious
of
what
he
did
,
got
off
his
clothes
and
into
bed
.
He
slept
seven
hours
of
heavy
,
animal
-
like
sleep
,
and
awoke
by
the
alarm
,
feeling
that
he
had
not
had
enough
.
"
Doin
’
much
readin
’
?
"
Joe
asked
.
Martin
shook
his
head
.
"
Never
mind
.
We
got
to
run
the
mangle
to
-
night
,
but
Thursday
we
’
ll
knock
off
at
six
.
That
’
ll
give
you
a
chance
.
"
Martin
washed
woollens
that
day
,
by
hand
,
in
a
large
barrel
,
with
strong
soft
-
soap
,
by
means
of
a
hub
from
a
wagon
wheel
,
mounted
on
a
plunger
-
pole
that
was
attached
to
a
spring
-
pole
overhead
.
"
My
invention
,
"
Joe
said
proudly
.
"
Beats
a
washboard
an
’
your
knuckles
,
and
,
besides
,
it
saves
at
least
fifteen
minutes
in
the
week
,
an
’
fifteen
minutes
ain
’
t
to
be
sneezed
at
in
this
shebang
.
"
Running
the
collars
and
cuffs
through
the
mangle
was
also
Joe
’
s
idea
.
That
night
,
while
they
toiled
on
under
the
electric
lights
,
he
explained
it
.
"
Something
no
laundry
ever
does
,
except
this
one
.
An
’
I
got
to
do
it
if
I
’
m
goin
’
to
get
done
Saturday
afternoon
at
three
o
’
clock
.
But
I
know
how
,
an
’
that
’
s
the
difference
.
Got
to
have
right
heat
,
right
pressure
,
and
run
’
em
through
three
times
.
Look
at
that
!
"
He
held
a
cuff
aloft
.
"
Couldn
’
t
do
it
better
by
hand
or
on
a
tiler
.
