Oh, how George Washington loves his cake!
And, oh, how he depends on Hercules, his head chef, to make it for him.
Hercules, a slave, takes great pride in baking the presidents cake.
How could they smile?
How could they be anything but unrelentingly miserable?
How could they be proud to bake a cake for George Washington?
The answers to those questions are complex because human nature is complex.
