He often told Addy that freedom's got its cost before she ran, a statement that stays with her and her family. He is full of wise sayings, such as not to bargain with God, as a person has nothing to offer God. He made up songs and marked things he made and gifted with a personal mark (as he was illiterate, being enslaved) such as leather bags and protection stones--this mark is a major plot point in Shadows on Society Hill. He also was moral and refused to make such spiritual things for his enslavers, and Addy recalls that Solomon was the kind of man who would no more have made a healing sack or protection stone for a enslaver than he would have sold his soul to the devil.
