As I continue to read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, Mrs. Ophelia has received a new slave, Topsy, to tutor that was bought by St.Clair. Mrs. Ophelia tries to protest this but when St.Clair makes her aware of this young girl's situation and what she has been through and also the thought of taken this role of being a missionary changes her mind.

Eva being so little has had a connection with these slaves, between Tom and Topsy. She has felt sympathy for them. I do not understand how such a little girl could have so much compassion for these slaves and her elders have such a misunderstanding conception about
