Benjamin Wright's growth was all in the way of temper; at least so his boy Simmons, a freckled mulatto of sixty years, informed Old Chester.
Involuntarily she clung closer to the mulatto woman by her side, as if she were her mother. "You didn't ever wear ear-rings," he said, taking hold of her small ear with his coarse fingers. "No, Mas'r!" said Emmeline, trembling and looking down. "Well, I'll give you a pair, when we get home, if you're a good girl. You needn't be so frightened; I don't mean to make you work very hard.
