<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">She could be a little poor girl in Philadelphia(some of Kirsten's clothes would be pretty close) who could help Addy see how lucky she is (remember, poor whites were regarded almost as badly as the freed slaves in some places). Addy could help her learn to read and be "proper". Remember the sharecropper in "Roots"? The one the slaves managed to get hired as the overseer, so everyone - including him and his very pregnant wife - would be treated fairly and have enough to eat? Poor whites were practically as bad off as freed slaves. Addy could learn that MANY had it rough during the Civil War/Reconstruction; she could help the little girl feel accepted and proud to be who she is, which sounds just like something Addy would do.
