In exchange for living with the Bodwins at 124, she did the laundry, cobbled and some seam stressing; "but it was the best and the only thing they could do. In return for
laundry, some seamstress work, a little canning and so on (oh shoes, too), they would permit her to stay there." (139)

She began doing this work as a release and a change from her life as a slave.  She "decided that, because slave life had 'busted her legs, back, head, eyes, hands, kidneys, womb, and tongue,' she had nothing left to make a living with but her heart—which she put to work at once." (86)

that’s somebody.” (28)
