Chapter four has Lyddie working hard at Cutler's tavern. The reader is introduced to more of her workload and other employees of the tavern.
One such character is Triphena. She is the tavern's cook, and she begins to take Lyddie under her protection, because she is impressed with Lyddie's work ethic. She tells Lyddie a story about a frog that fell into some milk.
Another tavern worker is Willie. He seems to be a jack of all trades. He takes care of the fires, the wagons, and various other jobs.
There are two other hired men. They are Otis and Enoch, but not a lot of info is given about them. Lyddie does learn about slaves and reward money from them though.
Lyddie's brother, Charlie, shows up for a portion of the chapter.
Mrs. Cutler is obviously around, but she does not make an appearance in the chapter.
