Detailed explanation-1: -He gives her to Miss Ophelia to see what Miss Ophelia can do with her. As Miss Ophelia instructs Topsy how to make her bed, Topsy steals a ribbon and a pair of gloves. She denies that she stole the ribbon when she is caught but admits she stole the gloves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stowe shows us that whites must learn to love blacks as their Christian brothers and sisters if they want to bring out the best in them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Topsy (died 1998) was an abused deaf mute Chinese Tartar girl who was adopted by British missionary Mildred Cable, a Protestant Christian missionary in China, serving with the China Inland Mission, and her friends Evangeline (Eva) French and Francesca French. Her story is told in the book The Story of Topsy.
