"My sisters were sold first, while my mother, paralyzed by grief, held me. her turn came and she was bought by a Mr. Riley. My mother pushed through the crowd to
where Mr. Riley stood as the bidding for me began. She fell to his feet, and
begged him to buy her baby as well as herself. Mr. Riley turned a deaf ear to her
pleas. He pushed her from him with blows and kicks, leaving her with an aching
body and a sobbing broken heart."
