Summary "Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, No. 725, November" is a periodical publication likely created in the late 19th century. This issue offers a blend of narratives, scientific observations, and cultural reflections, with a particular focus on enlightening readers through diverse topics that resonate with the zeitgeist of the era, including social stories and personal experiences of ordinary individuals. The opening portion introduces the story of Mrs. Waters, an engaging old woman known as a "knocker-up," whose profession involved waking people up for work before the advent of alarm clocks. As the narrator recounts their meeting, Mrs. Waters shares her life story, detailing how she built her independence through her unique line of work. Despite her initially brusque demeanor, she reveals warmth and kindness as she describes her experiences and successes in this unconventional role, all while juxtaposing her life choices with those of her invalid husband and inspiring readers with her resilience and resourcefulness.
