My Bondage and My Freedom

CHAPTER XXI
15/22

I did not know that it was any part of the bargain that I should ask you when or where I should go." "You did not know, you rascal! You are bound to show yourself here every Saturday night." After reflecting, a few moments, he became somewhat cooled down; but, evidently greatly troubled, he said, "Now, you scoundrel! you have done for yourself; you shall hire your time no longer.

The next thing I shall hear of, will be your running away.

Bring home your tools and your clothes, at once.

I'll teach you how to go off in this way." Thus ended my partial freedom.

I could hire my time no longer; and I obeyed my master's orders at once.
