He lived right up next to his master - in the attic or the basement. He ate the same food his master ate and wore his same clothes. And he could talk just like his master - good diction.

When the master's house caught a fire, he'd try and put the fire out. He didn't want his master's house burned. He never wanted his master's property threatened. And he was more defensive of it than the master was..."
Cabdi Ileey tried to be more Itoobiyaan than the Tigrey himself, more Itoobiyaan than the Xabashi himself. What a low house negro he was.
