' asked the lady . ` To Canada , if I only knew where that was . Is it very far off , is Canada ' ? said Eliza , looking up in a simple , trusting way , to the kind lady 's face . ` Poor woman , ' said she again . ` 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 .
