“You used to stand up for yourself if you were ill used.”

“I did once, but it’s no use; men are the strongest, and if they are cruel and have no feeling, there is nothing that we can do, but just bear it, bear it on and on to the end. I wish the end was come, I wish I was dead. I have seen dead horses, and I am sure they do not suffer pain. You are the only friend I ever had.”
