From Martha; or, The Fair at Richmond by Friedrich von[Composer] Flotow

male · comedic · 1:21 min

I mean our serving girl. You know mother put it in her will that we must keep up the farm together. So now like two good housewives we must fly around and choose a maid. Her name may be Sally or Katy or Jane, but I shall call her Betsy Ann! ((Laughs.)) (LIO: I shall always remember your dear mother and be grateful.) Yes, she was a good woman and a good mother, aye, a good manager, too. She knew how to make the maids attend to their work. (LIO: But she was kind. She was always so kind to me.) Yes, she loved you. If you had been her own child she could not have tended you more anxiously. You were a mere baby when your father died and left you in our care. No one could help trying to make up your loss to you, somehow. If I'd a mind I might have been jealous of you. I was always the one who got the scoldings. I suppose mother owed them to me, for I was her own naughty boy!
