The interesting part of the text that I read was when I we heard more about Mary’s character and her moral values from other people’s perspective. I found this on page 46 to 47 in the letter that Mr. Phillips wrote. He explains that she was a hard working person; contrary to what Mr Wood had said about her. She was respectable to them and they trusted her to keep the house in their absence. One would wonder why he sold five slaves and still kept her behind the answer to that I believe is that he found no fault in her that would cause him to want her to leave. He didn’t sell her and when he was leaving for England he could have done that and got her off his hands and he didn’t. Also with the many threats that they gave to her while in England how they would send her away but never followed through on it. I believe that was just to intimidate her because they knew she had the will to stay or leave whilst in England. On page 52 Mrs Forsyth also speaks on Mary’s loyalty and honestly and her hard working characteristics, Mary was the one that kept the house in their absence as well and she never robbed them of anything. All these testimonies was in Mary’s defence that the woman that Mr Wood was portraying her to be was not who she really was.
