` Is it a great way off ? ' asked Eliza . ` Yes , ' said the lady of the house sadly , ` it is far away . But we will try to help you to get there . ' Eliza wanted to go to Canada , because it belonged to the British . They did not allow any one to be made a slave there . George , too , was going to try to reach Canada . ` Wife , ' said the gentleman , when they had gone back again into their own sitting-room , ` we must get that poor woman away to-night . She is not safe here . I know some good people , far in the country , who will take care of her . ' So this kind gentleman got the carriage ready , and drove Eliza and her boy a long , long way , through the dark night , to a cottage far in the country . There he left her with a good man and his wife , who promised to be kind to her , and help her to go to Canada . He gave some money to the good man too , and told him to use it for Eliza . CHAPTER VI UNCLE TOM SAYS GOOD-BYE The day after the hunt for Eliza was a very sad one in Uncle Tom 's cabin . It was the day on which Haley was going to take Uncle Tom away . Aunt Chloe had been up very early . She had washed and ironed all Tom 's clothes , and packed his trunk neatly . Now she was cooking the breakfast , -- the last breakfast she would ever cook for her dear husband . Her eyes were quite red and swollen with crying , and the tears kept running down her cheeks all the time . ` It 's the last time , ' said Tom sadly .
