Then one day a different awful thought struck him. “Mama,” he said, “what if Beverly gets caught like James Hubbard, when he’s out free? What if Harriet gets caught? Would they whip Harriet? Or Beverly—or me?”
“No, no,” Mama said soothingly. “Nobody will ever whip you. Nobody will ever catch you. When you’re free, you’ll be just that—free. Not escaped. Free.”
“Why won’t anybody catch us? The white man that caught James Hubbard, he wasn’t from around here. He got paid too, for catching him.”
“Nobody will be looking for you,” Mama said. “You have to be reported as missing for slave catchers to know to look for you. And you won’t be. Your father will let you go. He’ll stay quiet. No one will capture you.”
“We’re supposed to trust Master Jefferson?” Maddy said. Mama nodded. Maddy thought of James Hubbard. He said, “What if Master Jefferson changes his mind?”
“He won’t,” Mama said. She looked at Maddy for a while and then she said, “You don’t have to trust him. All you have to do is trust me.”
Maddy nodded. That, he could do.
