Subject: Perhaps she meant "he who washes *not*"?

"He who washes none."

I think this is just bad grammar, "he who washes not" would make sense in the context, and it's a sort of old-fashioned phrase, one modern kid might well get wrong.

"In chap. 5 we find a number of misspelled words such as "dame" (damn), "hook, line and sincere" (hook, line and sinker), swallowing a drink "in one clop" (never seen "clop" used in that context) and - I needed 2 days to figure this one out - "a dipper" (diaper). "

And on the odd chance that we end up with a board that allows sig lines again, I call DIBS on "hook, line, and sincere".
