It was a small country club, with a common room, a buffet, separate rooms, a hall, a veranda, and a small garden with flowers and ornamental plants. We were met by the administrator, brought to a small office, explained the general rules and gave each of us three copies of the contract. A contract as a contract, there were common rights and obligations of the parties. The word slave was not mentioned in the contract. One side of the contract is the master, the other side is the servant. In general, we came into the full possession of the owner, and each wrote what should not be done with it.
