In this chapter Linda flees the plantation and goes back to Edenton to take care of her children again. During the middle of the night, Linda escapes and informs her friend Sally about it. After she informed her, Linda goes to a friend's house and hides there. When Mr. Flint finds out that she has escaped, he goes to Aunt Martha's house to look for her. With no luck, he leaves furiously. When Dr. Flint finds out about Linda, he places a "Runaway Slave" ad. It was a $300 dollar reward for anyone who captured her. The corrupting power of slavery is shown when Mr. Flint goes to her grandmother's house threatening her to tell him where Linda was. If he found out any slaves were behind Linda's escape, he would give them 500 lashes.
