Detailed explanation-1: -The mother, Susan, fears that 15-year-old Emmeline will be sold as a sex slave and tells her to comb her hair back and try to look as plain as possible. The next morning, the sale commences.
Detailed explanation-2: -Emmeline, a beautiful fifteen-year-old slave girl, has been raised in an upper-class household by a Christian mother. Separated from her mom at the auction block, Emmeline is bought by Simon Legree, who intends to keep her as his sex slave, a younger replacement for Cassy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tom, Adolph, and others are kept there, and on the women’s side we are introduced to Susan, a “respectably-dressed mulatto woman, ” and her daughter Emmeline, a pretty, fair-skinned slave of fifteen. Both have been taught to read and have been trained in religion.
Detailed explanation-4: -She says she’s done what she could for Tom; Legree paid $1, 200 for him, she reminds him, and he ought to be more careful of his property. Legree sees the wisdom of this but says Tom will have to beg his forgiveness.
