I have seen him use his heavy whip to punish her till her body was covered with blood.

When I got older I asked her why she did not run away.

She said she did not wish to; but I soon found out that the reason she did not run away, was because she loved Jenkins.

Cruel and savage as he was, she yet loved him, and I believe she would have laid down her life for him.
Now that I am old, I know that there are more men in the world like Jenkins.

They are not crazy, they are not drunkards; they simply seem to be possessed with a spirit of wickedness.
