"Madam Complained every time she saw me: I left a streak of wax on the table top. I tracked in mud. I faced a china dog toward the door after I dusted it, which would cause the family's luck to run out. At the end of every scolding, I cast down my eyes and said, Yes, Madam."
Words of the Wiser
Because Madam is much older than Isabel, and she owns Isabel, she has to listen to everything Madam says, as if it is a wise speech that is benefiting or motivating her.

"Jenny read my mind. "No sense in running." She shook her head from side to side. "He'd find you right away."
Words of the Wiser
Jenny knows that if Isabel and Ruth try and run away they will definitely be caught, and face very harsh consequences. As being caught is almost definite if they try to run away, advising them not to is very wise. Jenny feels for Isabel and Ruth and doesn't want to see them get hurt, and so offers them this advice.

Text to World connection- " 'Smallpox is tricky,' Miss Mary Finch said to me when Momma died. 'There's no telling who it will take.' " In around 1775, there was a smallpox epidemic. This was about the time the book was based. The smallpox epidemic was a sickness that now, is a minor illness. In those days, the sickness was much more serious because there was no vaccine to prevent it.

Prediction- "Madam slapped my face so hard it near threw me to the ground". Throughout the chapters I've read so far, I can see that Isabel tends to talk at times when she might get in trouble. I predict that Isabel living with the Locktons will be bad for her because she'll tack the blame for anything Ruth does. If she does this, then she might be sent away or constantly beat. If she doesn't take the blame for Ruth, then Ruth might get sent away or injured.

Contrasts and Contradictions- "'London? Never!' exclaimed Lockton. 'England offers us nothing but taxes, stamps, and bloodshed.'" Earlier in the story, Lockton reports that he is a Loyalist (page 19). He contradicts himself on page 30 because he doesn't want the patriots to know he is a loyalist.

Figurative Language (Simile) "I opened my mouth to roar, but not a sound escaped. I could not even mewl like a kitten.". The figurative language used was a simile. The quote compared Isabel to a lion and a kitten using "like". Isabel was going to fight back, and argue that her and Ruth were free, but she realized that there would be no use. Mr. Robert wouldn't listen to her and it wasn't worth fighting.
