Minor+Characters

Minor Characters - Discuss what he/she is trying to achieve and why he/she is succeeding or failing.
It's Mary again. I think the minor characters so far would be Cass, Delphine, and Calinda. Maybe they will be more involved in the story later on. Delphine and Calinda are staying at Tilly's house until they find somewhere else to stay. Tilly's mom said that Calinda might be a slave. Delphine seems like she has a lot of money, so maybe Calinda is her slave. But aren't they in the North where there aren't any slaves?

Hey Mary. It's Emily in first period. I honestly am not sure if Calinda is a slave or not. She could've been a slave, but she maybe escaped? If Delphine is as crazy as Tilly describes her, I wonder how she could have a slave with her at all times?  I think Illinois was a free state, so it might just be Delphine's friend?

 It's Emily again. I want to find out if Delaphine is going to effect Tilly's family in a major way. If you think about it, her crazy personality could possibly land the family in a lot of trouble.

Hey Emily, It's Mary. It said that the women from the town came up to Tilly's house and talked to her mother. They were concerned about Calinda and Delphine being in the North. They were wondering what they were doing there. Delphine and Calinda couldn't go back to New Orleans because there was a blockade so no boats could go back and forth. They figured that Delphine and Calinda were spies from the South. That is why they had all those lamps, to send signals to the South's fighters. They also said that is why Delphine is always in town looking around. Do you think they could be spies?

They could've been. In the end, I doubt if they were spies, Delphine would help save Noah with Tilly. I read in the epilogue type chapter that Cass died before Tilly did. I wonder how she died?
