The witnesses in their favor even went so far as to insist that their character stood high for humanity among the neighboring planters. I believe there never was a class of people on earth so determined to uphold each other, at all events, as slave-owners. The following account was originally written by the Rev. William Dickey, of Bloomingsburgh, to the Rev. John Rankin, of Ripley, Ohio.
Hendry looked at me apologetically while these instructions came up. "I winna dive my head wi' sic nonsense," he said; "it's no' for a man body to be sae crammed fu' o' manners." "Come awa doon," Jess shouted to him, "an' put on a clean dickey." "I'll better do't to please her," said Hendry, "though for my ain part I dinna like the feel o' a dickey on week-days.

An' it's me crazy to hear what that meerschaum-colored divil was a-goin' to say. 'Dickey No. 2. Why, that's the one I have to wear to-day, an' to think the story's on the back of it." Truly was Dennis harassed. He had been in many a pickle before, but never in one quite so exasperating.
Yet, such was the pinch of one long storm, that Dickey Shymer burned up the bark he designed to sell for grog; and the poor mischief of a Troffater, having not so much as bark, burned his best bedstead, then burned his eel-rack, and was unstocking his musket for a last lonely fagot, when Fabens drove up with a towering load of green maple wood.
Sophie, then, could hardly have been born before 1792, but is quite likely to have been born later. The name of Sophie's father is given as ``Daw. Like many another celebrity, as, for example, Walter Raleigh and Shakespeare, Sophie spelled her name variously, though ultimately she fixed on ``Dawes.

I thought I saw a twinkle in his eye, but his eyes always are twinkling, so I did not suspect him of intending mischief.
"But we didn't pay so much as this," said Dickey, in evident perplexity. "It only cost fourteen dollars in all." "That comes near enough to the amount," replied Mr. Weston, "and you will oblige me by thinking that you have simply had returned to you the money you paid out.
When called upon to hoist and lower it, Ben and Dickey showed evident signs of nervousness; but they succeeded, after some considerable time, in getting it up and down without tearing it, although it was plain to be seen that they were relieved when it was up for the second time, and Mopsey had ordered it left there.
