Auction Sale of St. Clair's Slaves (second part)

  Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
. . . The next slave to take the block is Emaline, a beautiful mulatto girl, who is knocked down to Legree. Uncle Tom is next to be put on the block, and after some lively bidding, Legree steps to the front and informs the bidders that he is determined to buy Tom at any price. He offers $1,200, which is finally accepted. Legree takes Tom and Emaline by the wrists, exclaiming, "Now you two belong to me." The two kneeling exclaim, "Then Heaven help us," making a very pretty ending to this scene.
