` Lor ' , now missis , do n't - do n't , ' she said . She too burst out crying again , and for a few minutes they all sobbed together . ` Tom , ' said Mrs. Shelby at last , ' I ca n't do anything for you now . But I promise you , most solemnly , to save as much , money as I can . As soon as I have enough , I will buy you back again . ' Just then Haley arrived . Tom said a last sad good-bye to his wife and children , and got into the cart , which Haley had brought with him . As soon as Tom was seated in the cart , Haley took a heavy chain , and fastened it round his ankles . Poor Tom had done nothing wrong , yet he was treated worse than a thief , just because he was a slave . ` You do n't need to do that , ' said Mrs. Shelby , ` Tom wo n't run away . ' ` Do n't know so much about that , ma'am ; I 've lost one already . I ca n't afford to run any more risks , ' replied Haley . ` Please give my love to Mas ' r George , ' said Tom , looking round sadly . ` Tell him how sorry I am he is not at home to say good-bye . ' Master George was Mr. and Mrs. Shelby 's son . He was very fond of Tom , and was teaching him to write . He often used to come and have tea in Uncle Tom 's little cottage . Aunt Chloe used to make her very nicest cakes when Mas ' r George came to tea . But he was not at home now , and did not know that Tom had been sold . Haley whipped up the horse , and , with a last sad look at the old place , Tom was whirled away to a town called Washington .
