Charwoman

Our gardener Tom and the charwoman Mary will get married in May.

The cloth was laid by an occasional charwoman, who officiated in the capacity of Mr. Bob Sawyer’s housekeeper; […]

Through a partly-opened door the noise of a scrubbing-brush led up to the charwoman, Maryann Money, a person who for a face had a circular disc, furrowed less by age than by long gazes of perplexity at distant objects.

This time was most dreadful for Lilian. Thrown on her own resources and almost penniless, she maintained herself and paid the rent of a wretched room near the hospital by working as a charwoman, sempstress, anything.

But there was nobody at Kig and Kadgit's except the charwoman wiping over the “lino” in the passage.

[H]e described the speech of the charwoman washing the hotel stairs and gave lists of words collected from the bathmen.
