It
was
not
my
place
to
speak
to
a
white
man
except
when
spoken
to
,
but
I
omitted
no
opportunity
of
throwing
myself
in
his
way
,
and
endeavored
constantly
in
every
possible
manner
to
attract
his
attention
.
In
the
early
part
of
August
he
and
myself
were
at
work
alone
in
the
house
,
the
other
carpenters
having
left
,
and
Epps
being
absent
in
the
field
.
Now
was
the
time
,
if
ever
,
to
broach
the
subject
,
and
I
resolved
to
do
it
,
and
submit
to
whatever
consequences
might
ensue
.
We
were
busily
at
work
in
the
afternoon
,
when
I
stopped
suddenly
and
said
--
"
Master
Bass
,
I
want
to
ask
you
what
part
of
the
country
you
came
from
?
"
"
Why
,
Platt
,
what
put
that
into
your
head
?
"
he
answered
.
"
You
would
n't
know
if
I
should
tell
you
.
"
After
a
moment
or
two
he
added
--
"
I
was
born
in
Canada
;
now
guess
where
that
is
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
know
where
Canada
is
,
"
said
I
,
"
I
have
been
there
myself
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
expect
you
are
well
acquainted
all
through
that
country
,
"
he
remarked
,
laughing
incredulously
.
"
As
sure
as
I
live
,
Master
Bass
,
"
I
replied
,
"
I
have
been
there
.
I
have
been
in
Montreal
and
Kingston
,
and
Queenston
,
and
a
great
many
places
in
Canada
,
and
I
have
been
in
York
State
,
too
--
in
Buffalo
,
and
Rochester
,
and
Albany
,
and
can
tell
you
the
names
of
the
villages
on
the
Erie
canal
and
the
Champlain
canal
.
"
Bass
turned
round
and
gazed
at
me
a
long
time
without
uttering
a
syllable
.
"
How
came
you
here
?
"
he
inquired
,
at
length
.
"
Master
Bass
,
"
I
answered
,
"
if
justice
had
been
done
,
I
never
would
have
been
here
.
"
"
Well
,
how
's
this
?
"
said
he
.
"
Who
are
you
?
You
have
been
in
Canada
sure
enough
;
I
know
all
the
places
you
mention
.
How
did
you
happen
to
get
here
?
Come
,
tell
me
all
about
it
.
"
"
I
have
no
friends
here
,
"
was
my
reply
,
"
that
I
can
put
confidence
in
.
I
am
afraid
to
tell
you
,
though
I
do
n't
believe
you
would
tell
Master
Epps
if
I
should
.
"
