Inside the story
Uncle Silas Phelps is Aunt Sally’s mild, absent-minded husband, a farmer who also preaches part-time. At the story’s outset, he is living on the family farm and unknowingly keeping Jim, who has been captured and brought to the Phelps place.
A gentle, elderly countryman, thin and gray, with the plain, worn clothes of a hard-working farmer-preacher and a distracted, kindly air.
