    Lyddie, of course, has been sent to Cutler’s Tavern and Charlie has been sent to Baker’s Mill.  Lyddie takes advantage of Mistress Cutler’s absence (as she has gone to Massachusetts to sell some maple sugar) to take a “vacation” in order to see her family.  When Lyddie stops at Baker’s Mill to find Charlie, she finds out that Charlie is not there because he is still in school.  Lyddie is disturbed by this and begins to hate the family that has been taking care of Charlie.  Lyddie finally arrives at the farm and is surprised to find a black man staying there.
