"Send him to hell for your brother, and if he refuses to go you can order him to leave." Edmond was ordered to go to Hell and was given the name of his master's brother. He forgot the name but he said he would not go back again. He drove out all that were in Hell and on to his master's house. The master and his wife were walking round the house when they saw all the black people coming down the hill. After a while Edmond came into the yard and said to his master: "Pick out your brother." In wild alarm his master ordered a car and drove away as quickly as he could. Edmond then ordered the black people to return to their former abode. He then got another horse and car and went for his mother and both of them lived happily in the house ever after.
