Question

What is the impact of the zeugma when Douglass writes of the Aulds;" The influence of brandy upon him, and of slavery upon her, had effected a disastrous change in the characters of both"?

Answer 1

Answer:

In a very short time after I went to live at Baltimore, my old master's youngest son Richard died; and in about three years and six months after his death, my old master, Captain Anthony, died, leaving only his son, Andrew, and daughter, Lucretia, to share his estate. He died while on a visit to see his daughter at Hillsborough. Cut off thus unexpectedly, he left no will as to the disposal of his property. It was therefore necessary to have a valuation of the property, that it might be equally divided between Mrs. Lucretia and Master Andrew.
