A little black girl sat on the floor, and with her hands worked the treadle of the machine. He saw God's foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. "Oh, now, really I didn't notice you," said she, taking a few turns of the treadle and steering the machine across to them. |
