Mary Smith by Andrea U'Ren

4.0

I just loved this! I never knew that before alarm clocks that people had "knocker-upper" jobs or whatever, going around and waking the the train conductor, the factory workers, the teachers, etc. by scratching at their windows with long, thin poles. In this case Mary uses a pea-shooter, and it's her job to walk around shooting people and their windows with projectile peas. Short, quick read with a bit of humor and a blurb at the end about the true historical context.
