` What makes you behave so ? ' said Mr. St. Clare , who could not help being amused at her funny expression . ` Spects it 's my wicked heart ; Miss Feely says so . ' ` Do n't you see how much Miss Ophelia has done for you ? She says she has done everything she can think of . ' ` Lor ' , yes , mas ` r ! Old missis used to say so , too . She whipped me a heap harder , and used to pull my hair and knock my head agin the door . But it did n't do me no good . I ` spect if they is to pull every hair out o ' my head it would n't do no good neither . I 's so wicked . Laws ! I 's nothin ' but a nigger noways . ' ' I shall have to give her up , ' said Miss Ophelia . ' I ca n't have that trouble any longer . ' Eva had stood silent , listening . Now she took Topsy by the hand , and led her into a little room close by . ` What makes you so naughty , Topsy ? ' she said , with tears in her eyes . ` Why do n't you try to be good ?
Do n't you love anybody , XXXXX ? '
