Alfred, the coachman, Peter, and Hetty made up the remainder of the house-servants.

Besides these, Mr.Wilson owned eight slaves who were masons.

These worked in the city.

Being mechanics, they were let out to greater advantage than to keep them on the farm.
Every Sunday evening, Mr.Wilson's servants, including the brick-layers, assembled in the kitchen, where the events of the week were fully discussed and commented upon.

It was on a Sunday evening, in the month of June, that there was a party at Mr.Wilson's house, and, according to custom in the Southern States, the ladies had their maid-servants with them.
