Some, however, were more fortunate. Bart encouraged and hurried the bidding on a large crate, the contents of which he easily guessed, as did also Tim Hager, the crippled son of a poor widow. Tim got it for two dollars and twenty-five cents, and it turned out to hold a first-class sewing machine.
John had very little money none in fact that he could use for cotton, but he confidently expected it, though ignorant of any certain cause for expectation. As he was eating dinner with his mother one day, she said, "Whatever have you sent Greenwood to Liverpool for?" "To buy any cotton he can." "But you have no money." "Simpson and Hager paid me at once for the calicoes I sent them.
A change of some kind had taken place during his absence. The nightwatchman, Hager, had been heard praying in his attic for the boys. A boy, in great trouble with a trigonometrical problem which would not come right, had solved the difficulty by linking work with prayer.

Some twenty-five white men and seventy-five slaves gathered on the appointed night, among them Allen's slave Isaac.
