I remember realizing it when I was a kid (when there were only five dolls, mind you) that Kirsten and Addy were ten years apart, and it made me really happy to think that Kirsten helped out slaves when they came north. I just assumed she did, anyway, who knows what really happened.

It didn't occur to my ten-year-old mind that not too many slaves would make it all the way up to Minnesoda, but still.
