Beloved Chapter 15

Shortly after Sethe and Denver had arrived at 124, Stamp Paid picked blackberries for infant Denver and they threw a feast for 90 people. Baby Suggs had a party for the neighbors. They had fun, but later became angry and jealous. Baby Suggs had too much: her son had bought her freedom; she had a real house; and she had her entire family around her.
