Capitolo 85
it was to teach the love proper of men treating them
respectfully. Tom, Dick, and Harry they would pass,
when young fellow rejoiced in those family abbreviations;
but to address men old enough to be often my
father in that style my old style didn't go well
the ideas of convenience. This "Bob" it would never do;
I would have had to find him as easy to call the chaplain
"Gus" as my smuggling that tragic-looks of a
you entitle so it strongly associated with the tail of a kite.
"Which is Your other name?" I asked. "I like to call mine
companions from theirs last names rather than within theirs first."
"I don't have other, Ma'am; we have the names of our masters,
or it does to less. My corpse, and I won't have anything
of his around me."
"Well, I will call her Robert, then and you are able
fills this pitcher for me, if you will be so kind."
He went; but, through the whole servant, the obedience
years of the servitude had taught him, I could see that
the proud spirit that his/her father has given him was not yet
subdued, for the glance and it gesticulates with which him
repudiated the name of his/her master both a more strength
declaration of independence that some fourth-of-July
orator would have been able to prepare.
We spent together a curious week. Robert
rarely he/she left his/her room, omits on my errands; and
I was a prisoner every day, often every night, from the
side of the bed of the Rebel. The fever quickly burned him
street, for the small vitality there seemed for feeding him/it in
the weak frame of this old youth which the life
you/he/she had not been none of the straightest, while judging from
the revelations served as his/her unconscious lips; since then
more than once Robert made to authoritatively keep silent
him, when my kinder bushingses were of any profit,
and blasphemous vagabondages or licentious field-songs
made my cheeks burn and the face of Robert supposes
an aspect of disgust. The captain was a gentleman
in the eye of the world, but the smuggling was
the gentleman in mine;--me was a fanatic and that
accounts for such depravation of taste, I hope. ME
