Last night she sent me away up into the cupola to sleep, 'cause she said I could have more room there. And when I'd got the picaninny asleep, and was watching for a chance to steal away, she come all the way up there very softly, and said she'd brought me some hot drink, 'cause I didn't seem to be well.

At last, when they was all abed and asleep, I crept down stairs softly, and come out of the back door, and locked it after me." "Come right up stairs with me," said Rosa. "I want to speak to you." As soon as they were alone, she said, "Tulee, where is the baby?" "Don't know no more than the dead what's become of the poor little picaninny," she replied.
