"€œAw, we ain'€™t no gentlemen, Mr. Sam,"€ Elijah said. "€œWe'€™z slaves."€

"€œIn my eyes you are fine gentlemen."€

Julia watched as the two boys stood a little taller. Her heart swelled with admiration. Samuel never hesitated to pass on an encouraging word.

He handed them each a tin cup then bent down to lift the grain sack.

"€œYou there!"€ someone shouted. "€œHalt!"€

Tin cups clattered to the sidewalk. Water splashed her shoes. Julia turned in the direction of the angry voice. She gasped.

A blue uniformed officer was marching toward them, his forehead lined in a scrutinizing glare. Julia immediately stepped in front of Elijah and Elisha, her bell-shaped skirt hiding them from the soldier'€™s view.

"€œCitizens are not to interfere in any matter with persons of servitude!"€ the man barked.

Her heart was thumping wildly. Julia gulped back fear and prayed her knees would hold. A sword was fastened to the officer'€™s waist. His gloved hand rested upon it.

Samuel stepped between her and the man. "€œWe are not interfering, Captain. We are simply extending a kindness, a cup of cold water in the name of Christ."€

The soldier obviously held no regard for the Savior'€™s name. He cursed. "€œAbolitionists! I know what you are up to."€

Julia cringed and backed closer to the boys. They, too, were trembling.

"€œCaptain,"€ Samuel said, his voice louder, "€œmay I remind you, a lady is present."€

He cared not and he shoved Samuel out of the way. Julia froze as he then pointed at the children.

"€œBoth of you,"€ he ordered. "€œBe gone!"€
