In this chapter, Linda goes on a vacation with Mrs. Bruce to Albany since she is taking care of Mary. Since Albany
is farther North, Linda experiences some extreme prejudice. A waiter refuses to serve her, she can't sit with Mary on her lap, and the servants won't even bring food for her to eat. Linda also travels to Brooklyn to see Ellen who warns her not to visit Mrs. Hobbs' because her brother is visiting from the South. After her encounter with many people who are prejudice against her even though they had the same skin color, she refused to be treated that way and stood up for her rights. In this case, it worked for her and she got her respect.
