To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If Harold could only have been the guide of this lamb ! " How is it that she and that man are together ?" he asked himself, scowling gloomily. " It would please me if 1 could take that imp to the river and duck him. 1 will keep an eye on them and see where she goes. He may go as fancy drifts him, for I don't care anything at all about At'w. " They made a turn around the corner of a building, and Harold intended to make the same turn, but he halted 152 BEHIND MANHATTAN GABLES. when he saw a most... lugubrious face at a window. It was sable as well as mournful. " A slave !" murmured Harold. " The man looks as if he wanted something of me. " Harold's guess was correct. It was one of New Am- sterdam's bondmen. Slaves were early brought to the Dutch in America and by the Dutch themselves. They were found in New Netherland as early as 1628. The Dutch took them also to the English on the Virginia plantations. That might seem a strange traffic for such liberty-loving people as Hollanders ; but liberty for yourself does not necessarily imply that you will let your neighbor have it.
