- Mr. Dussel begins. He may not always peel the very well, but he does peel nonstop, glancing left and right to see if everyone is doing it the way he does. No, they're not!
- A Daily Chore in Our Little Community: Peeling Potatoes!One person goes to get some newspapers; another, the knives (Keeping the best for himself, of course); the third the potatoes; and the fourth; water.
- I think my way is easier, Mr. Dussel.
- Look, Anne, I am taking a peeler in my hand like so and going from top to bottum!
- I keep on peeling. Then I look at Father, on the other side of me. To Father, peeling potatoes is not a chore, but precision work. When he reads, he has a deep wrinkle in the back of his head. But when he's preparing potatoes, beans or vegetables, he seems to be totally absorbed in his task.
- He puts on his potato-peeling face, and when it's set in that particular way, it would be impossible for him to turn out anything less than a perfectly peeled potato.
- Mrs. Van D. is trying to attract Dussel's attention. She starts by looking in his direction, but Dussel pretends not to notice. She winks and laughs, but Dussel goes on peeling. Having failed to achieve her goal, Mrs. Van D. is obliged to change tactics. There's a brief silence. Then she says...
- Putti, why don't you put on an apron? Otherwise, I'll have to spend all day tomorrow trying to get the spots out of your suit!
- I'm not getting it dirty.
