"Because de master hab doomed dat yaller-ha'r," said Dido, and continued her song. "I came down here to escape Dido," explained Isabella, slipping her hand within his. "You don't like her to be with us." Bruce laughed good-naturedly as he shook hands. "Ah! poor Maurice always mistrusted that negress!".
