They also own slaves: Sadie and Jenny, who assist with the multiple responsibilities which fall to a farmer's wife; and Moses and Shadrack, who work in the barn and the fields. This is for Thomas the 'proper' way of doing things, the way he was brought up to believe in and respect, and has always known.
