Eliza was lying on a couch on the floor, her head to the wall, her feet toward the stove, Sarah sitting about two yards from her on the floor by the wall, with Eliza's baby on her knees. The other two little children, Benjamin and Esther, were lying on some blankets, on the floor at the other side of the room.
'My baby, my sweet-one, said Eliza, 'they have sold you. But mother will save you yet! She did not cry. She was too sad and sorrowful for that.

I am as anxious as you are, Eliza, to have done with all this, and I hope by the time Clara and Julia are ready to come out, I may be able to carry out the plans we have always had I as much as you. Tancred takes a great deal of the work off my hands now, and I can see that he has the confidence of most of my people.
With some reluctance, I at length bade my new friends farewell, and returned to Philadelphia.

"Aunt Fanny," she repeated, dropping a tin pan to the floor with a crash; "I thought you said her name was Eliza?" "Sure thing!" I chortled; while my heart fell off its perch and dropped in my shoes.
