Forehandedness

The highly efficient housewife bragged that she always rose early, and had every bed in the house made before anybody else in the house was up.

Foresight

The master directed that the picture should be hung on the east wall; the mistress preferred the west wall.

The servant drove the nail where his master directed, but when he was left alone in the room he drove a nail in the other wall.

“That,” he said to himself, “will save my lugging the steps up here again to-morrow, when he has come around to agreeing with her.”
