 So you didn't fall for life on the farm, huh? I should say not. The old man of the family, his wife, and four sons. I had a slave for all of them. I was only a poor relation. They treated me worse than they dared treat a hired girl. I was one of the sons. The youngest started me when I was 16. After that, I hated them, so I'd killed them all if I'd stayed. So I run away to St. Paul.
