In this chapter, Dr. Flint comes back to Edenton with no sign of Linda. Mr. Sands, the father of the children, buys William, Benny, and Ellen. Dr. Flint agrees to this because he does not know who is really buying them.After some time, Dr. Flint finds out that he sold them to Mr. Sands. He goes to Aunt Martha's house and vows to never let Linda go and to never set her free. The corrupting power of slavery is shown in this chapter when Dr. Flint vows to never set Linda free just because he wanted revenge. He did not care about the money, all he cared about was getting her back for running away and refusing to sleep with him.
