Indeed the Pacha and her got along together, "The Pacha's great ambition was to be familiar with the English language, and at last nothing would do but he must take lessons of me" (pg. 98).

Black River

Where Mrs. Seacole opened a store with her new husband. Named "Rio Caobana" by the Spanish, this town was located in St. Elizabeth's parish. They were still living in Jamiaca when he died, and she went back home.

Cruces, Panama

In this part of the story, Seacole was in Cruces, trying to find the bright side of Cruces life. She would deal with the problem that was occuring in there, which was that one of her brother's friend's died due to cholera, which was contagious. She told everyone that he died from the disease but they were not happy, "The Cruces people were mightily angry with me for expressing such an opinion; even my brother, although it relieved him of the odium of a great crime, was as annoyed as the rest" (pg.

London

In the narrative The Wonderful Aventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands, Mrs. Seacole travels to London as a young woman and later as a widow trying to join the war effort.
