dustpan

One day he and some of his roommates were cleaning their room and one of the guys threw the dustpan out into the hall.

This left her boss, the commander in chief, to hand his nine-iron to the caddy and grimly ask for broom and dustpan.

As no one had anything to offer in explanation, Peggy went to find the dustpan and was absent for some minutes.

"I believe you, that it's spoiled," said Isabelle carelessly, dropping it into the dustpan.

Tommy had gotten a broom and a dustpan and was already raising a cloud of dust by her efforts at sweeping.

The girl, with no excuse for lingering, reluctantly gathered up her broom and dustpan, and departed.

"You'll never guess what 'e said then," said Mrs. Silk dropping her dustpan and brush and gazing at the hearth.
