Each time she thought of Jordan, one idea returned: royalty. But royalty had to do with kings, men who ruled a nation. How could someone who was a slave remind her of a king? Taking out her paper, pen, and ink, Libby started to draw. She had planned to sketch the slave trader. Instead, she drew Jordan's straight shoulders, his proud head, and the dark eyes that forgot and looked for one moment beyond the crowd. After all the uncertainties of the day, Libby found comfort in seeing a picture take shape. When she finished, she knew why Jordan reminded her of royalty. It was more than the way he stood. Though a slave, Jordan had a purpose in life.
