There the 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 . CHAPTER XIV TOPSY One morning , while Miss Ophelia was busy , as usual , she heard Mr. St. Clare calling her from the foot of the stairs . ` Come down here , cousin . I have something to show you . ' ` What is it ? ' said Miss Ophelia , coming down with her sewing in her hand . ' I have bought something for you . See here , ' he said , pulling forward a little negro girl of about eight or nine years old . She was quite black . Her round , shining eyes glittered like glass beads . Her wooly hair was plaited into little tails which stuck out in all directions . Her clothes were dirty and ragged .
XXXXX Ophelia thought she had never seen such a dreadful little girl in all her life .
