The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 2 of 4

CHAPTER II
128/133

While she was doing it, the mistress told her the room was very dusty, and reproved her for it.

The girl replied, "Is it morning ?" (It is customary to clean the rooms early in the morning, and the girl made this reply late in the afternoon, when sufficient time had elapsed for the room to become dusty again.) 3.

The girl did not wash a cloth clean which the complainant gave her, and the complainant was obliged to wash it herself.
4.

Several times when the complainant and her daughter have been conversing together, this girl had burst into laughter--whether at them or their conversation, complainant did not know.
5.

When the complainant has reproved the defendant for not doing her work well, she has replied, "Can't you let me alone to my work, and not worry my life out." A black man, a constable on the same property, was brought up to confirm the charges.
