I shall beg her to bring Kate with her.

Wouldn't I love to see Kate!" "My dear," said Mr.North, "do you know what a time there would be if the lady should bring Kate with her ?" "The good time coming! I think it would be," said his wife, "to see the Southern lady and her Kate under our roof." "Why," Paid he, "we should all have to go to court ?" "Well, that would be interesting," said she; "but for what ?" "Why," said he, "you know that this is free soil: Kate is a slave; she can have her freedom for nothing if she comes here.

Some of our Massachusetts gentlemen are as chivalrous and attentive to Southern colored people, as our good friend tells us Southern gentlemen are to a white woman: a committee would wait on Kate, with an officer of the peace, and invite her to visit the court-house with them, to be presented with 'freedom'; and Kate's mistress must go with her, to show that she is not restraining Kate of her liberty." "Why," said Mrs.North, "if I could not be allowed, in visiting Sharon Springs, to take Judith with me to give me my baths, because she is free, I should call it barbarism.

Who was that gentleman that broke his collar-bone and seat to you, husband, to get him a nurse ?" Mr.North said it was a student in a medical school, from the South.
"Did you find him a nurse ?" said she.
"Yes," he replied; "but he groaned and said, 'Mother wanted to send on my mammy that nursed me, but your laws will not allow her to come.

Now,' said he, 'mammy will not tamper with your servants here, and entice them away, as free colored men might do to our slaves if they landed at the South from your vessels.
