Chapter+Summary

__**Chapter 1**__ Both Miss Mary Finch and Isabel and Ruth's mother were buried after their deaths. I predict that Isabel and Ruth will be sold.

__**Chapter 2**__ Isabel argues with Mr. Robert about her and her sister, Ruth's, freedom. Just before Miss Mary Finch died, she wrote into her will that Isabel and Ruth were to be freed. However, her lawyer took the will with him to Boston so there was no way for Isabel and Ruth to prove their case. Pastor Weeks, who was looking after Isabel and Ruth after Miss Mary died, gave them to Mr. Robert, who is Miss Mary's only living relative. I predict that Isabel and Ruth will escape.

Mr. Robert takes Isabel and Ruth back to Miss Mary's house to get their blankets and shoes, but nothing else. Mr. Robert then takes them to Newport to sell them. He sells them to the Lockton's. I predict that they will run away.

 * __Chapter 10__**

Isabel and Ruth experience their hardest work yet at the Lockton's. The rebels then come and arrest Mr. Lockton on suspicion that he is helping the king. I predict that Madam will break Mr. Lockton out of jail.

He thanks her for the info and gives her a code for the next time she has to tell him something. I predict that Colonel Regan will be bribed.

__**Chapter 17**__ Mr. Lockton finds out that the plan to kill George Washington had been uncovered. He told Madam to burn all his papers because he had to flee. She said that she was going with him but he did not allow it. I predict that Madam will kill herself.

Although, she still went and listened to his apologies. Time passed and outbreaks of camp fever, small pox, and dysentery grew amongst the rebel troops. Later, Curzon approached Isabel at the market, but Isabel continued to ignore him. Later that night, Curzon came by the house. He asked Isabel to continue spying and she told him to leave her alone and never come back. I predict Isabel will start spying, because it might be the only way to get Ruth back.

Tensions are growing as the war approaches. Everyone is gathering provisions and making barricades. Isabel hears of the British Lord Dunmore offering freedom to any slave that escapes to his camp. Curzon tells everyone that he is joining the Rebel army. They laugh at him and tell him that if he does survive he would have to go back to his master anyway. I predict that Isabel will try to escape to the British camp.

__**Chapter 34**__ Isabel finds out Curzon is one of the men being held in prison. Eventhough she was angry with him she still wanted to help him. She was not suppose to go to the prison, but she did anyway. I predict Curzon is wounded. __**Chapter 35**__ Isabel brought rice pudding to Curzon in the prison. He explained to her how he got shot in the leg. One man told her how none of them had eaten in days so she gave them the pudding. She was asked to deliver a message to a man.
