Excerpt from Strangers in the Land
Lucy, that the poor creature should be given a duster to hem, or a garter to knit. The natives don't wear garters, or use dusters, but we could keep them for the bazaar, she said, and we could pretend the duster was some kind of an apron, so as not to hurt her feelings.
