actually took place in my presence. " Tell me, why do you
object to play this part? It ,is the only one you can per-
form, on account of your colour; it is the part of a black
• man." " Yes, massa, me know ; all berry good ; but me
no understandee not English, massa." " You mistake me :

English, written expressly for a black character." " Yes, yes,
mama, berry good; but if tame thing to massa, give me de
good English, I breaky mysel." P—. burst out laughing.
heartily shared his mirth, and left bins after a quarter of an
hour's visit, still vainly endeavouring to convince the Indian
that the author's broken English was better than his own..—
