Comprehension Passage

You never saw such a commotion up and down a house in all your life, as when mu uncle Podger undertook to do a job. A picture would have come home from the frame-maker's, and be standing in the dining room, waiting to be put up; and Aunt Podger would ask what was to be done with it, and Uncle Podger would say "Oh, you leave that to me. Don't you, any of you, worry yourselves about that. I'll do all that."

And then he would take off his coat, and begin. He would send the girl out for sixpenny worth of nails, and then one of the boysafter her to tell her what size to get; and from that, he would gradually get the whole house involved.

"Now you go and get me my hammer, Will," he would shout, "and bring me the rule, Tom; and I shall want the stepladder, and I had better have a kitchen chair, too; and Jim! you run around to Mr. Goggles, and tell him, Pa's kind regards and hopes his leg's better; and will he lend him his spirit-level?' And don't you go Maria, because I shall want somebody to hold the light; and when the girl comes back she must goout again for a bit of picture cord; and Tom! -Where's Tom, -Tom, you come here; and hand me up the picture."
