Silly ignorant Goslings in the middle saying to Brahmins, 'And you are Muscleman, aren't you, or are you a Dhobi? and to Parsis, 'I suppose you High Caste gentlemen have to bathe every day? shoving their awful ignorance under the noses of everybody, and inquiring after the healths of the 'chief wives'.

"My darling child," said she, hugging and kissing her just as tenderly as if she had never been "wherrying." "You'd better lie down again, and let me bathe your head." Dotty sprang into bed instantly. She was glad her mother had asked her to do something, so she might prove her desire to obey. She liked the touch of those cool fingers on her forehead.
One of these was her choice of a huge negro to bathe her every morning. When some one ventured to protest, she answered, naively: "What! Do you call that thing a MAN?" And she compromised by compelling her black servitor to go out and marry some one at once, so that he might continue his ministrations with propriety!
