at is thru for me, Katy, that
l never seed the like Of this

I've heen having since coming
10 this house, twelve months
agone this week Thursday.
Yer honor knows that my
fourth cousin, Ann McCarty,
recommended me to Mrs,
Whaler, and told the lady that
i knew about genteel house
work and the likes; while at
'he same time, | had never
seen into a American lady's
kitchen. So she engaged me,
and grief Tor the story that hnn
had told, for Mrs. Whaler was
"a swate spoken lady, and niver
looked cross like in her life;
that | knew by her smooth,
Kind face.
Well, just the first thing she
told me to do, after had dress
ed the children, Nas to dress
the ducks for dinner. | stood
Docking at the lady a couple
of minutes before | could make
aout any meaning at all to her
words. Thin | went searching
after clothes for the ducks; anu

High and low / went, till at
gast'my mistress aXed me for
what | was looking; and | told
her the clothes for the ducks
TO be sure. Oh! and how she
screamed and laughed till my
face was as red as the sun wild
shame, and showed me in her
tkind, swate way, what her
imeanipg was. Thin she told
me how to air the bed, and it
was day for me indade, when
l could so up to the chamber
alone, and clare UP the rooms.
One day Mrs. Whaler said to
me "Biddy, and ye may give
the baby an airing, if ye will"
What should | do-and it's
thru what Pm saying this bless
ed minute-but go up stairs
wild the child, and shake it, and .
then howld it out of the win. |

kicking as the baby give-and

body then in the strate looked
up at me; at last mistress came
iup to see what for was so much
noise; I'm thrying to air the
baby l said, 'but il kicks and
scrames dridfully! There was
company down below, and
when Mrs. Whaler told them
what had been afther doing.
l thought they would scare the
tall,s in rnp strait wild their
scraiming.'
'And then | was told that /
