- How much have you lost?

A little.

- A little?

A little or much.

What does it make?

You will still be angry.

- And I, father? I get nothing?

You would almost think.

Let's see ...

No, there seems nothing left to lie.

Unless ...

Tell me, please.

Help me.

Say something, mother.

I agree.

- This is Jacob.

He will be your special assistant.

Lead him around and let him see his home.

But first ...

Burn it.

- Is that wise, sir?

Walk with me, Jacob.

Then you describe what you see.

What a beautiful place.

- Really?

Beautiful trees.

- Dad was talking frequently about the boom rigging.

Look at this. Here he was loved.

Hang you should do,

to commemorate him.

It is not necessary.

Your father as a child

love these Christmas decorations.

You can give a party.

- There is room for design.

Then we give a party

when daddy comes back.

We gave splendid balls

in my youth.

Oh, Darn.

What the hell is this?

It's a Bible.

The Bible of the master.

How strange. I wondered where he was,

I had lost him for years.

He pretended to his son Jacob.

- Yes.

This is fun.

Do not you come inside?

- Of course.

Where did you find him?

Well, actually he found me.

He was hidden on board,

he had fled.

What escape?

- He's a runaway slave.

He would be sold on the market

in Charleston, but he escaped.

He hid on board.

He heard our destination,

and swam to the ship.

I hid it in a container for

the harbor master. And here it is.

But he is still someone?

I pretend I did not hear.

You may a stowaway

not help?

All it is:
To Jacob or another

slave to help, I break every rule.

He's terribly smart,

I've never seen a kid.

Let Sefton not hear that.

What you gonna do with him?

As I said:

He is a friend of Susan.

I thought you were a joke.

- He can read her ...

... With her learning. He is her eyes.

- Maybe so, but ...

Go on.

- Well ...

... Apart from anything else,

he is also ...

Not British.

- Would that it make a difference?

Come on honey, you know how it is

as a foreigner in another country.

Be nice to him.

- It's a boy.

I know.

- Perkins And then?

Susan is too old for a nanny.

A boy can not stop her

bathing or dressing. Where is he sleeping?

He sleeps in the stables. Take a girl

employed. Jacob, Susan Friend.

You talk of this former slave

no assistant.

What will people say?

- I do not care.

We will be laughed at.

He will not stay long, really.

He will not feel at home.

But he felt at home.

- Of course, Susan was blind.

That I should have known.

- What do you mean?

How did Jacob with this?

- That he thought the matter.

He freed her, he gave her wings.

He is too big for both of us.
