James Hemings:  I was wantin' to say, Master—
Thomas jefferson:  Wanting to say what, James?  I like finished sentences.
James Hemings:  Yes, Master.  And what it is I was wantin' to finish is, I wants to get paid.  Master, I wants money.
Thomas jefferson:  In our present cir****stances, your request is not unreasonable.  I shall tell Monsieur Petit that on the first of each month, you are to receive twenty-four francs by the way of salary.  You realise that this arrangement holds good only in Paris, and that in Monticello, we shall revert to our own system.
James Hemings:  Yes, Master.  Thank you.
