”Personen rejste sig i sin fulde højde af fem fod og to tommer og nærmede sig langsomt. Over et tætsluttende og meget nedringet bluseliv af blå silke havde den noget, der engang havde været en gråmeleret drengejakke. Et strikket tørklæde viklet om halsen skjulte ikke halvdelen af blusens udskæring. Under jakken hang en lang sort nederdel, hvis slæb var hevet op og gjort fast ved midjen med et kricketbælte.’Hvem er du? Hvad vil du?’ spurgte hr. Peter Hope.” Journalisten Peter Hope er en succesrig mand og derfor også en travl mand. Han har brug for en husholderske til at tage sig af alt det daglige, så han kan koncentrere sig om sit arbejde, men den person, der møder op for at søge stillingen, er bestemt ikke, som han havde forestillet sig en husholderske. Faktisk er det ikke engang til at se, om det er en mand eller en kvinde, der står og putter sig i sit mærkelige tøj, og som kalder sig Tommy. Hope går ikke desto mindre med til at give Tommy en chance og begynder efterhånden at holde af sin nye husholderske.” Tommy & Co.” er en humoristisk og varm fortælling, som første gang udkom i 1904.
