There is one thing a man-servant values beyond all that your kindness and consideration can do for him--his liberty; liberty to eat, drink, and be merry, with your things; and the housemaid wishes for liberty to lie in bed in the morning, because she was up so late talking to John in the pantry. For this liberty, if you grant it, they will despise you; if you deny it, they will respect you.
