  • Sobered by this unhousewifely incident, she proceeded to the Boy's room, next door.

    A Tyrant Abdicates 1914

  • She had no bent towards religion, was ruinously dressy and extravagant, unhousewifely as a woman could be; but Miss Pennycuick, great lady as she was, could cook and sew, was a master hand with servants and with children, and had never failed of interest in the church -- nor in him.

    Sisters Ada Cambridge 1885
