I laughed fit to slip, dat ar time we cotched Molly. I thought they'd a had her all stripped up afore I could get'em off. She car's de marks o' dat ar spree yet"(Stow， 2011: 556). And when Cassy and Emmeline ran away,"Many of the men sprang forward, officiously, to offer their service, either from the hope of the reward, of from that cringing subserviency which is one of the most baleful effects of slavery"(Stow 2011: 575).
