my house is highly respectable-highly respectable (2011-12-13)
Cicero has been nicely got out of the way. Molly, his wife, is summoned into the presence of her mistress, to receive her awful doom.
"To be frank with you, Molly, and I am always outspoken, you know,

I am going to sell you. We have been long enough together, and necessity at this moment forces me to this conclusion," says our
venerable lady, addressing herself to the old slave, who stands before her, leaning on her crutch, for she is one of the cripples.
"You will get a pious owner, I trust; and God will be merciful to you."

The old slave of seventy years replies only with an expression of hate in her countenance, and a drooping of her heavy lip. "Now,"
Mrs. Swiggs pursues, "take this letter, go straight to Mr. Forcheu with it

cheap uggs, and he will sell you. He is very kind in selling old people-very!" Molly
inquires if Cicero may go. Mrs. Swiggs replies that nobody will buy two old people together.
The slave of seventy years, knowing her entreaties will be in vain, approaches her mistress with the fervency of a child, and grasping
warmly her hand, stammers out: "Da-da-dah Lord bless um, Missus. Tan't many days

"God bless you-good-bye, Molly. Remember what I have told you so many times-long suffering and forbearance make the true Christian. Be
a Christian-seek to serve your Master faithfully; such the Scripture teacheth. Now tie your handkerchief nicely on your head, and get
your clean apron on, and mind to look good-natured when Mr. Forcheu sells you."

Swiggs waves her hand, resumes her Milton, and settles herself back into her chair. Reader! if you have a heart in the right place it
will be needless for us to dwell upon the feelings of that old slave,

REGARD us forbearingly, generous and urbane reader; follow us undaunted whither we go, nor charge us with tracing crime in a bad
cause. We will leave the old prison, the dejected inebriate, the more curious group that surround him, and the tale of the destroyer
it develops, and escort you in our walk to the mansion of Madame Flamingo,

who is well known in Charleston, and commonly called the Mother of Sin. It is a massive brick pile, situate in one of the public
thoroughfares, four stories high, with bold Doric windows, set off with brown fluted freestone, and revealing faded red curtains,
overlain with mysterious lace, and from between the folds of which, at certain hours of the day, languid and more mysterious eyes may
be seen

peering cautiously. Madame Flamingo says (the city fathers all know it) she has a scrupulous regard to taste, and develops it in the
construction of her front door, which is of black walnut, fluted and carved in curious designs. In style it resembles somewhat the
doors of those fashionable churches that imitate so closely the Italian, make good, paying property of fascinating pews, and adopt the

way of getting to heaven (prayer-book of gold in hand) reclining on velvet and satin damask.
The mansion of Madame Flamingo differs only in sumptuousness of furniture from twenty others of similar character, dotted here and
there about the little city. Add to these the innumerable smaller haunts of vice that line the more obscure streets-that, rampart-
like, file along the hundred and one "back lanes" that surround the scattered town

, and, reader, you may form some estimation of the ratio of vice and wretchedness in this population of thirty thousand, of which the
enslaved form one-third.
Having escorted you to the door, generous reader, we will forget the common-place jargon of the world, and affect a little ceremony,
for Madame Flamingo is delicately exact in matters of etiquette. Touch gently the bell; you will find it there, a small bronze knob,
in the fluting of the frame, and scarce perceptible to the uninitiated eye. If rudely you touch it, no notice will be taken; the
broad, high front of her house will remain, like an ill-natured panorama of brick and freestone,

gentlemen know how to ring a bell. Well, you have touched it like one of delicate nerves, and like a bell with manners polished by
Madame Flamingo herself, it answers as faintly as does the distant tinkle of an Arab's bell in the desert.
