Quote #10

[Miss Worsham said,] "Can nothing be done? Mollie's and Hamp's parents belonged to my grandfather. Mollie and I were born in the same month. We grew up together as sisters would." (7.2.21)

It sounds like Molly's mother helped to raise Miss Worsham in the same way Molly later raised Roth along with her own son Henry. Molly's parents must have remained on the plantation after emancipation and the girls grew up together.
