Read Chapter 19. Aunt Rachel is the only person to visit Kit in the shed. Why is she the only one to visit? What risks are involved in this visit for Aunt Rachel? Where are William and Nat? Why do they not visit Kit?

Aunt Rachel is the only one to visit Kit because it is dangerous to do so. Nat was banished from town, and William stayed away because of sickness.

Nat Eaten? He was halfway down the river, and banished from town as well.

That evening, for the first time since Kit's arrest, William came to call. He had stayed away, he explained, out of consideration for the illness in the house.
