They had come out—Snowford, Cartwright, Pemberton, and the rest—on to the steps of Paul's House, following that strange figure.

His mother would have wished him to sit under Cartwright and Travers.

The planters attributed these expensive deeds of manumission to a depraved taste or mania; but we do not know that they laid Greek under contribution for a term, as Dr. Cartwright did, who applied the word drapetomania to the malady of the American fugitive. Many negroes sought relief in a marooning life; but their number was not so great as we might expect.

The first of these renderings is by no means a satisfactory one, as Vardo-mescro means a cartwright, or rather a carter.
