-LSB- Illustration -RSB- ` Hush , ' she said , ` Harry must n't cry or speak aloud , or they will hear us . A wicked man was coming to take little Harry away from his mother , and carry him ` way off in the dark . But mother wo n't let him . She 's going to put on her little boy 's cap and coat , and run off with him , so the ugly man ca n't catch him . ' Harry stopped crying at once , and was good and quiet as a little mouse , while his mother dressed him . When he was ready , she lifted him in her arms , and crept softly out of the house . It was a beautiful , clear , starlight night , but very cold , for it was winter-time . Eliza ran quickly to Uncle Tom 's cottage , and tapped on the window . Aunt Chloe was not asleep , so she jumped up at once , and opened the door . She was very much astonished to see Eliza standing there with Harry in her arms . Uncle Tom followed her to the door , and was very much astonished too . ` I 'm running away , Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe -- carrying off my child , ' said Eliza . ` Master sold him . ' ` Sold him ? ' they both echoed , lifting up their hands in dismay . ` Yes , sold him , ' said Eliza . ' I heard master tell missis that he had sold my Harry , and you , Uncle Tom . The man is coming to take you away to-morrow . ' At first Tom could hardly believe what he heard . Then he sank down , and buried his face in his hands .
