"I was nevah lowed to go out an soshiate with de othah slaves much. I was in de house all time." "I went to prayer meetins every Sunday monin and evenin." "Sometimes dey could have a good time in de evenin and sometimes day couldn." "Chrismas was a big time for everyone. In the manshun we allus had roast pig and a big feed. I could have anythin I want. New Years was the big aukshun day.
Las' Sunday we had a good time. I war jis' chock full an' runnin' ober. Aunt Milly's daughter's bin monin all summer, an' she's jis' come throo. We had a powerful time. Eberythin' on dat groun' was jis' alive. I tell yer, dere was a shout in de camp."
