"One of the pleasant things about owning a slave, " I said, "is the opportunity to converse with her, to listen to her, to hear her express herself, her feelings and ideas.
One can learn much from a slave. Many slaves, like yourself, are highly articulate, clearly, trenchantly and lyrically. It is great pleasure to talk with them."
"I see", she said.
"Then when one wishes," I said, "One puts them again on their knees"
