    The mistress's name was Mrs. White. She was very hard. She used to teach the girls and anytime they did anything wrong she would slap them or put them kneeling on sand. She used to send them out to dig potatoes and if they cut any of them she would slap them. So they used to bury the potatoes they would cut.
