:" Margaret ( a slave ) had become so excessively negligent and indifferent to her duties … that Carrie ( Caroline Holmes White, Emma's sister ) asked Isaac to punish her ... He ... after dark took her to an extreme end of the garden, intending to reprimand her and with a light strap gave her two or three cuts across her shoulders ... She tore away ... and sprang into the creek … she plunged head foremost ... Mr. Bull had the creek dragged unsuccessfully ... and the current must have swept the body out ... She had ( said ) a few days ago that if she was ever touched again she would drown or kill herself … But none dreamed of such a demoniac temper ... It put poor Isaac nearly crazy, for he blamed himself as ... undue severity ... Poor fellow, to have his peace of mind destroyed by the blind rage of such a creature is too dreadful.
