Authorship not stated

December 1831, eight in the morning at Rosehall's gates: enslaved gangs cutting cane under mounted drivers, the works smoking, the white Great House above it all. You play Rutherford, the new book-keeper, arriving too well dressed and hours after the overseer expected you. Ashman turns your first day into a punishment, and the man who has carried two men's work for a week warns you not to be blamed for the delay. Everyone glances uphill before answering a question about Mrs Palmer.
