In this chapter, Linda is running away from the white men who are searching for her. When she believed that she was almost going to get caught, she hid in thick bushes and got bitten by an unknown reptile. Little did she know, it was poisonous. Linda leaves Sally's house so that she can meet up with Betty. Betty helps Linda since she works for a white woman who will take Linda in. Betty's mistress hides Linda under the floorboard so that Dr. Flint and Mr. Flint won't find her. Dr. Flint tries every possible move to get Linda to come out of her hiding spot. However, Dr. Flint believes that Linda is in New York so he borrows money from several people to buy a ticket to New York to search for Linda. The corrupting power of slavery is shown in this chapter when Dr. Flint throws Linda's family into jail so that he can weasel some information out of them.
