She was Mr.Shelby's head cook, and a very good one too, she was.

Nobody in all the country round could make such delicious pies and cakes as Aunt Chloe.
Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived together in a pretty little cottage built of wood, quite close to Mr.Shelby's big house.
The little cottage was covered with climbing roses, and the garden was full of beautiful bright flowers and lovely fruit trees.
Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived happily for many years in their little cottage, or cabin, as it was called.

All day Uncle Tom used to work in the fields, while Aunt Chloe was busy in the kitchen at Mr.Shelby's house.

When evening came they both went home to their cottage and their children, and were merry together.
Mr.Shelby was a good man, and kind to his slaves, but he was not very careful of his money.

When he had spent all he had, he did not know what to do to get more.
