[With Lee in Virginia by G. A. Henty]@TWC D-Link bookWith Lee in Virginia CHAPTER II 9/31
What you want ob dem? Bery bad master, Marse Jackson.
Wust master hereabout." Vincent related what had happened, to Dan's intense delight. "Now, Dan," he went on, "I am afraid that after my interference they will treat that poor fellow and his wife worse than before.
I want you to find out for me what is going on at Jackson's.
I do not know that I can do anything, however badly they treat them; but I have been thinking that if they ill-treat them very grossly, I will get together a party of fifteen or twenty of my friends, and we will go in a body to Jackson's and warn him that, if he behaves with cruelty to his slaves, we will make it so hot for him that he will have to leave the State.
I don't say that we could do anything; but as we should represent most of the large estates round here, I don't think old Jackson and his son would like being sent to coventry.
