It seems that Beaucaire kept a quadroon housekeeper, a slave, o' course, an' a while back she giv' birth ter a child, the father o' the infant bein' Judge Beaucaire's son.

Then the son skipped out, an' ain't ever bin heard frum since--dead most likely, fer all this wus twenty years ago.
'Course the child, which wus a girl, is as white as I am--maybe more so.

I ain't never set eyes on her, but Carver he says she's damn good lookin'.

Enyhow the Jedge he brought her up like his own daughter, sent her ter school in Saint Louee, an' nobody 'round yere even suspected she wus a nigger.
