Three Oaks Haven
Blanket
Not a particular position, but rather, a condition. The Master
places a blanket over the slave, which indicates that the slave
shall remain still and silent beneath the blanket until the
blanket is removed.
I then threw the second blanket, the top blanket over her,
covering her completely. When a blanket, or cloak, or covering of
any sort, is thrown over a slave like this she may not speak or
rise. She must remain as she is, silent, until the master, or
some free man, lifts the covering away.
