Upon Smellie these delicate attentions produced no effect whatever, he evidently being either dead or insensible; but they aroused in me a very lively feeling of indignation, under the influence of which I launched such a vigorous kick at the unreasonable darky's shins as made him howl with pain and sent him hopping out of range in double- quick time a proceeding which raised a hearty laugh at his expense among his companions.
With the whole of the purchase money in his hands and his mind firmly made up he rang for his servant: "Come along, Todd show me where Aunt Jemima lives it's somewhere down by the market, I hear I'm going now." The darky's face got as near white as his skin would allow: this was the last thing he had expected. "Dat ain't no fit place for ye, Marse George," he stammered.
Still the negro was silent. "Half a dozen of yez," Peter said, "as have got iron ramrods shove them into the fire. We'll soon find this nigger's tongue." Not a word was spoken until the ramrods were heated red-hot. "Now," Peter said, "two of yez clap your ramrods against this darky's flanks."
All the darky's training came into play when his master was giving a dinner: what Madeira to decant, and what to leave in its jacket of dust, with its waistcoat of a label unlaundered for half a century; the temperature of the claret; the exact angle at which the Burgundy must be tilted and when it was to be opened and how especially the "how" the disturbing of a single grain of sediment being a capital offence; the final brandies, particularly that old Peach Brandy hidden in Tom Coston's father's cellar during the war of 1812, and sent to that gentleman as an especial "mark of my appreciation to my dear friend and kinsman, St.
Waite wages for Estralla, so that he would not insist on selling her. Estralla's face had brightened instantly at Sylvia's promise. And when Sylvia explained that she had money of her very own, and even opened her writing desk and showed Estralla the shining gold pieces, the little darky's fears vanished.
