A nighttime curfew that was imposed a few weeks ago seems barely enforced now—no doubt to the relief of the women at the Ramada.

The last slave had been immured within its walls, and St. Michael's curfew was to be sweetest music thenceforth and forever.

It made me think of that gal when she spoke ‘Curfew shall not ring tewnight’ at the schoolhouse.
