My Bondage and My Freedom

CHAPTER VII
6/26

Here are saddles and harnesses--beautifully wrought and silver mounted--kept with every care.
In the stable you will find, kept only for pleasure, full thirty-five horses, of the most approved blood for speed and beauty.

There are two men here constantly employed in taking care of these horses.

One of these men must be always in the stable, to answer every call from the great house.

Over the way from the stable, is a house built expressly for the hounds--a pack of twenty-five or thirty--whose fare would have made glad the heart of a dozen slaves.

Horses and hounds are not the only consumers of the slave's toil.
