Amos Griest: "Absolutely, where are you from, Margaret?" Margaret: "I am from a plantation in Maryland." Amos Griest: "Well, nice to meet you, Margaret. You can stay here for a few nights until it is safe to send you to the Willis House. Samuel can then provide you with some safety and help you continue on your journey."

It is just up North from their current location but Amos says that it is not safe to remain in one location for long, and Samuel can reach out to his friends to help Margaret get more help in her journey. So, late in the evening, Amos and Margaret knock on the door to Samuel Willis' house. |
