Ispent the time in washing, not so much because i wished to, but because mrs. lucretia had told me i must get all the dead skin off my feet and knees before i could go to baltimore; for the people in baltimore were very cleanly, and would laugh at me if i looked dirty. besides, she was going to give me a pair of trousers, which i should not put on unless i got all the dirt off me. the thought of owning a pair of trousers was great indeed! it was almost a sufficient motive, not only to make me take off what would be called by pig-drovers the mange, but the skin itself. i went at it in good earnest, working for the first time with the hope of reward. which detail from the passage is evidence that douglas has few material possessions while he is enslaved?
