He owned to it , and , when I bid him tell me where they were , he said he knew , but would n't tell . He stuck to it , too , though I gave him the very worst beating I ever gave a nigger yet . I believe he is trying to die . I should n't wonder if he did . ' ` Where is he ? ' said George . ` Let me see him . ' His cheeks were crimson , and his eye flashed fire at the thought that Legree had dared to treat dear Uncle Tom so badly . ` He is in that shed , ' said a little fellow who was holding George Shelby 's horse . George , without saying another word , hurried to the place to which the little boy pointed . As he entered the shed , his head felt giddy and his heart sick . Uncle Tom lay on a heap of straw on the floor , still and quiet . ` Oh , dear Uncle Tom , ' cried George as he knelt beside him , ` dear Uncle Tom , do wake -- do speak once more . Here 's Mas ' r George -- your own little Mas ' r George . Do n't you know me ? ' ` Mas ' r George ! ' said Tom , opening his eyes , and speaking in a feeble voice .
` XXXXX ' r George ?
