I never did like them; and when I think that there are good men and women who do, and who are as kind to the poor creatures as this dear lady, I think that we should give thanks to God." "Oh, the Southern people are not all like this good lady, by any means," said I.

"How Kate must 'startle' and go into convulsions with terror every time this mistress wakes!" she replied.
