Kit asks Hannah how she can ever go back and face them? in responce hannah shows kit a flower brought to her from Africa what answer does the flower hold for kit?

The answer was that Kit needed to go to Mr. Kimberly and talk to him person to person.

In one short hour she had conjured away the rebellion that had been seething in the girl's mind for weeks. Only one thing must be done before Kit could truly be at peace, and without speaking a word Hannah had given her the strength to do it: Straight up Broad Street she walked, up the path to a square frame house, and knocked boldly on the door of Mr. Eleazer Kimberley.
