Early on, in the parts of the U.S. where slavery was legal, the masters of the house would carefully select from among their slaves those who would wo...rk in the house and those who would remain in the fields."Usually, but not always, looks played a big part in the selection for work in the houses. Naturally, those slaves brought in from tribes that looked more Caucasian in their features tended to be selected to work in the house, under better conditions and with better food and treatment,. At a health shop we bought a couple of bottles of arnica, which I knew was good for bruises, and then on to a firm that specialised in work clothing. "Hi, Eric," Tom greeted me in the shop, "What can we do for you today?" Morn'n Tom. This is Louise my new assistant. She's a townie and I want her kitted out to help with my landscape work. Boots, socks, trousers, shorts, the lot. She has nothing suitable." Tom seemed surprised I was taking a woman to work with me but said nothing. A couple of. As nervous and terrified as she was, she was going to take this plunge.Of course over the next few weeks she flirted with the idea of bowing out. I always encouraged her. I told her how excited I was. I even got involved with helping her decide what to wear. We were going for something sexy yet not too slutty. We decided on a tight black teddy.The day came and we were heading to Gavin's studio. My wife had on jeans and a t-shirt and her lingerie on underneath. She was nervous. We didn't speak. Mom said for me to make myself all cutesy for the party. Mom is a stickler about me always looking like a young lady and I should act like a young lady at all times. I don't know too many young ladies who mow the yard, take the trash out and cleans the garage like I do. But this young lady, she likes to get dirty with dirt and oil. I'm going to college in the fall to be an auto mechanic.I'm in the shower when I hear a knock on the door. Before I could say just a minute, Uncle Steve walks.
