Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Early in November, Miriam worries about Susanna back in St. Francis. A maid tells Miriam that Madame Du Quesne wants to see her. When she goes to the drawing room, Susanna, James, and baby Captive are waiting and dressed in French clothing. Madame is uncharacteristically kind to Miriam.
Susanna shares that Sylvanus never returned to St. Francis and had been taken to another village. Susanna was able to see Polly and Sue, but the mayor’s wife forbade her from visiting again. James shares that because he has parole, he will go to Albany and then Boston and get the money to free them all. Because James is a captain, the Governor has made the officials of Montreal understand that they are important captives.
The Du Quesnes will have Susanna and Miriam as guests, and Miriam will no longer be a servant. As the weeks, and then months pass, Miriam becomes closer to Felicité. She enjoys dressing fashionably and going to parties. Susanna does not approve of the idle lifestyle of the Du Quesnes, though she is appreciative of their help.
