Describe the historical time period, according to the chapter.  What clues from this chapter support this time period.  How do the charecters talk, dress, act and/or think?  How does the setting

of the novel lend to your understanding of this time period.

In this chapter it feels like the time period during the 1700s or around the Revolutionary War.  It is because it talks about British Soldiers coming to the US, there are slaves and people are Patriots and Loyalists.  Madam also acts like a Loyalist, because it talks about how she was happy the British troups were arriving.  Isabelle seems like a slave because she's working for the Locktons and is thinking about escaping.  Madam acts like a mean self centered person.  She is like that because she doesn't bother on how other people are doing, she just cares about thing that will bother her.  Isabelle's thoughts make me think that she wants to run away, because when the British soldiers arrive, she thinks about running away.  The setting also tells me a little about the time period, because they never go to anywhere, or talk about any of the states that aren't part of the 13 colonies.  Lady Seymour and Madam Lockton act like slave owner.  Their differences are that Lady Seymour is nice but Madam Lockton is cruel.  Since there are slaves, slave owners, Patriots, Loyalists and British soldiers, it draws me to conclude that the time period is around the revolutionary war.
