Excerpt from Only a Factory Boy: And From Ball Room to Weave Room

"Dilsie, I knows des how you feels. I doan lak de new mistis, nuder. She got de debil in her bigger'n a mule."

Uncle Mose, little, old. wrinkled and gray, rose from his seat in the cabin door, cast one long lingering look toward the ''big house" a short distance away and heaved a troubled sigh. Aunt Dilsie was dishing out supper and deposited the viands on the table with a vim that emphasized her wrath. Her round fat face, which usually shone with good nature and satisfaction, was now stamped with hearty disapproval. Her turbaned head was held high, but there was a suspicious moisture in her soft black eyes which she tried slyly to wipe away with the corner of her snowy aporn. Uncle Mose watched her furtively as he sat down to the table. Presently her wrath exploded:

"Hit's enough to make de dead turn ober in dey graves! Here we's bin cookin' an' a milkin' an' a pidlin aroun' at de big house nigh on to fifty year, an' dis am de fus' time we's been tol' we mus'n eat in de white folks kitchen. We stayed wid old Marse an' old Mis' LeGrande Ion' as dey live. We nussed Marse Henry, an' stayed right on wid him 'twel he married, an' right on 'twel de purty Misits died, an' right on 'twel now he's got a nuder won. All dese years me an' you'se been eatin' our supper in de kitchen an' wuz welcome. Now, here dis new 'oman - she low she ain't gwine to put up wid no sich, an' she raked de scraps frum 'round de plates, an' chunked 'em all togeder in a tin bucket an' said I cud bring 'em on home an eat 'em. Yah! Des same es we wuz hawgs. Den she got down, she did, an' rite dar she sot 'twel I got de dishes washed; den she 'low I cud go, now, an' she wood lock up. Des erbout tole me she wuz skeered I'd steal sumpin. If it wern't for lil Marse Jack, po' lil mortherless lam' - we'd leave dis place."

"Dilsie," said Uncle Mose, as he gulped down his victuals, "duz you 'member how de yong mistus charged us 'fore she died to look ater her chile?"
