Explanation:

The passage from Frederick Douglass' narrative focuses on his experiences with his mistress and her transformation due to slavery. It doesn't mention poor white children in the neighborhood. However, based on the overall tone of the narrative which often shows Douglass's longing for kindness and human - like treatment, if we assume the question is about his general feelings towards those who show some humanity, we can infer. Douglass often expressed gratitude for any form of kindness shown to him in his life as a slave.

Answer:

A. He felt gratitude and affection for them.
