Eliza was sitting in the next room . The door was not quite closed , so she could not help hearing what was said . As she listened she grew pale and cold and a terrible look of pain came into her face . Eliza had had three dear little children , but two of them had died when they were tiny babies . She loved and cared for Harry all the more because she had lost the others . Now he was to be taken from her and sold to cruel men , and she would never see him again . She felt she could not bear it . Eliza 's husband was called George , and was a slave too . He did not belong to Mr. Shelby , but to another man , who had a farm quite near . George and Eliza could not live together as a husband and wife generally do . Indeed , they hardly ever saw each other . George 's master was a cruel man , and would not let him come to see his wife . He was so cruel , and beat George so dreadfully , that the poor slave made up his mind to run away . He had come that very day to tell Eliza what he meant to do . As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Shelby stopped talking , Eliza crept away to her own room , where little Harry was sleeping . There he lay with his pretty curls around his face . His rosy mouth was half open , his fat little hands thrown out over the bed-clothes , and a smile like a sunbeam upon his face . ` My baby , my sweet-one , ' said Eliza , ` they have sold you . But mother will save you yet ! ' She did not cry .
She was too sad and sorrowful XXXXX that .
