But you must not get drunk . ' Tom looked surprised and a little hurt . ' I never drink ' , mas ` r , ' he said . ` Never mind , my boy , ' said Mr. St. Clare , seeing him look so grave ; ' I do n't doubt you mean to do well . ' ' I certainly do , mas ` r , ' said Tom . ` And you shall have good times , ' said Eva . ` Papa is very good to everybody , only he always will laugh at them . ' ` Papa is much obliged to you , ' said Mr. St. Clare laughing , as he walked away . CHAPTER VIII ELIZA AMONG THE QUAKERS While Uncle Tom was sailing South , down the wide river , to his new master 's home , Eliza with her boy was travelling north to Canada . Kind people helped her all the way . She passed from friend to friend , till she arrived safely at a village where the people were Quakers . The Quakers were gentle , quiet people . They all dressed alike in plain grey clothes , and the women wore big , white muslin caps . Because they thought it was wicked to have slaves , they helped those who ran away from their cruel masters . Often they were punished for doing this , but still they went on helping the poor slaves . For though the laws said it was wrong , they felt quite sure that it was really right to do so . The kind Quaker women grew to be very fond of Eliza , and would have been glad if she would have stayed with them . But Eliza said , ` No , I must go on ; I dare not stop . I ca n't sleep at night : I ca n't rest . Last night I dreamed I saw that man come into the yard . '
` Poor child , ' XXXXX Rachel , the kind Quaker woman to whom she was speaking , ` poor child , thee must n't feel so .
