"But
housekeeping is fun, and I think the women who hate it lack
imagination. It is one job where you enjoy the results right along as
you work. You may work all day washing and ironing, but at night you
have the delicious feeling of sunny clean sheets and airy pillows to lie
on. If you clean, you sit down at nightfall with the house shining and
faintly smelling of wax, all yours to enjoy right then and there. And if
you cook–ah, if you cook–that creation you lift from the oven goes
right to the table."
