The Laundry Lady's Luck (1911)
Mrs. O'Brien washes for Mrs. Allison. Mrs. O'Brien starts out bright and early one Monday morning via the alleyway as usual, and finds a fat purse, containing a roll of bills. She stuffs the bills into her "Lisle National," her stocking, and continues on jubilantly, utterly unconscious of there being a hole in the stocking. Over the washtub in Mrs. Allison's kitchen she is busily at her work when little Nellie Allison, a child of four, sees a piece of funny green paper sticking from the old Irish lady's stocking and plucks it out, while Mrs. O'Brien is entirely unconscious of the loss of the money. The hole in the stocking continues to dribble out more greenbacks, which are found by a tramp, the ashman and even Allison, and the discovery of her loss is not made by Mrs. O'Brien until the rent collector calls for the rent. Upon finding she has lost the money, and thinking she may have left it at the Allisons', the laundry lady returns to her employer's house, where Nellie, playfully lifting the laundry lady's skirts, points out the hole and said she took the money. Before the laundry lady has left Allison is forced to give up his roll, the original amount claimed to have been lost by Mrs. O'Brien.
