So, with the general information that Missy Rosy and Tulee were safe, they parted for the present.
Tom's communication in the evening was very long, and intensely interesting to his auditors; but it did not extend beyond a certain point.

He told of Rosa's long and dangerous illness; of Chloe's and Tulee's patient praying and nursing; of the birth of the baby; of the sale to Mr.Bruteman; and of the process by which she escaped with Mr.
Duroy.

Further than that he knew nothing.

He had never been in New Orleans afterward, and had never heard Mr.Fitzgerald speak of Rosa.
At that crisis in the conversation, Mrs.Delano summoned Mr.Jacobs, and requested him to ascertain when a steamboat would go to New Orleans.

Flora kissed her hand, with a glance full of gratitude.
