Eva never does; there's no getting into the child's head the first beginning of an idea what a servant's place is! You heard her offering to take care of me nights, to let Mammy sleep!

"Why," said Miss Ophelia, bluntly, "I suppose you think your servants are human creatures, and ought to have some rest when they are tired." "Certainly, of course.

I'm very particular in letting them have everything that comes convenient,--anything that doesn't put one at all out of the way, you know.

She's the sleepiest concern that ever I saw; sewing, standing, or sitting, that creature will go to sleep, and sleep anywhere and everywhere.

No danger but Mammy gets sleep enough.
