Chapter 19 de 45 · Volume 2 · 33 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 19, news of Prue’s death leads Miss Ophelia to challenge St. Clare, who condemns slavery but admits his failure to act against it. His account of Scipio offers a contrast through kindness, while Eva responds deeply to suffering and helps Tom prepare a letter to his family.
