“The story of a little nigger boy who thinks to keep the baby cool in the same way his mother does the meat -- by letting it down the well. His ingenuity is suitably rewarded”
“A very humorously written story of a little nigger boy minding a baby. To quieten the fretful baby, he pops it into the well bucket, where it is discovered later on by the anxious parents, Hieronymus having meanwhile gone off to a dog fight.”
