1. Alexander, Emily, aged 15. She came to my room in the evening after
her work was done at the hotel and recited to me more than twenty
stories which she had from her father, who was a native of Mandeville,
and with which she was in the habit of entertaining the other young
people employed at the hotel.
See 108, 109, 110, 111, 130.
2. Archibald, Alexander, aged 62. He was “tea-meeting chairman” in the
district of New Green, near Mandeville. I visited him at his home one
late afternoon. Seated on his own door-step in the midst of a circle of
his neighbors, he recited six stories with much wit and good humor.
