This chapter's epigraph comes from Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Incidents in the Life of a Slave" . It's a quote from Harriet's poem, "A Little Boy," in which she describes a baby boy who reminds her so much of her own when she was a child. Harriet tells us that she made a baby outfit for Bel-Air when he was born, and that's what she keeps in the attic. Harriet also says that she's always been told that animals are attached to their owners
