Isabel is constantly frustrated by this woman's unique emotional abuse. When Isabel looks to her for favor, she's greeted with abuse and cruelty. Madam Lockton is a harsh woman with next to no integrity. She promised to free them in her will, but the promise isn't honored after her death. Her first mistress, Miss Mary Finch was a kindly old lady who looked after the girls.

Unfortunately not all of her role models are worthy of her attention. Isabel is constantly searching for a mother figure to guide and nurture her. As slaves, their care is dependent upon their work value. Isabel and Ruth have been orphaned since a young age.
