tired travellers were kindly received and given a good breakfast.

Tom Loker was put into a comfortable bed, far cleaner and softer than
any he had ever slept in before. George and Eliza walked about the
garden hand-in-hand, feeling happy together, and almost safe. They were
so near Canada now.




CHAPTER XIII


AUNT DINAH


Miss Ophelia found that it was no easy matter to bring anything like
order into the St. Clare household. The slaves had been left to
themselves so long, and had grown so untidy, that they were not at all
pleased with Miss Feely, as they called her, for trying to make them be
tidy. However, she had quite made up her mind that order there must be.
She got up at four o'clock in the morning, much to the surprise of the
housemaids. All day long she was busy dusting and tidying, till Mrs. St.
Clare said it made her tired to see cousin Ophelia so busy.
