"‘And
my
duties,
sir?
I
would
like
to
know
what
they
would
entail.’"
"‘One
child—a
dear
little
boy
just
six
years
old.
Oh,
if
you
could
see
him
killing
cockroaches
with
a
slipper!
Smack!
smack!
smack!
Three
gone
before
you
could
blink!’
He
leaned
back
in
his
chair
and
laughed
heartily."
"I
was
a
bit
taken
aback
by
the
child's
choice
of
entertainment,
but
the
father’s
laughter
made
me
think
perhaps
he
was
joking."
"‘So
my
only
duty,’
I
asked,
‘is
to
look
after
one
child?’"
"‘No,
no,
not
your
only
duty,
my
dear
young
lady,’
he
replied.
‘Your
role
would
be,
as
your
good
sense
would
suggest,
to
follow
any
little
commands
my
wife
might
give,
as
long
as
they
are
commands
a
lady
could
properly
obey.
You
see
no
problem
with
that,
do
you?’"
"‘I
would
be
happy
to
make
myself
useful.’"
"‘Exactly.
Take
clothing,
for
instance.
We
are
particular
people,
you
know—particular
but
kind-hearted.
If
you
were
asked
to
wear
a
dress
we
provided,
you
wouldn’t
object
to
our
little
whim,
would
you?’"
"‘No,’
I
said,
quite
surprised
by
his
words."
