Quotes Containing housekeeper:
Horace Vandergelder (Paul Ford), at 65, plans to marry again in The Matchmaker (1958): 'I like my house run well, with order, comfort and economy. That's a woman's work . But even a woman can't do-it well if she's merely paid for it . In order to run a house well a woman must have the feeling that she owns it .
