In this chapter, Dr. Flint tries to break Linda by capturing her Uncle Philip and throwing him into jail. However, his tactic does not work since he doesn't know where she is.Since Linda believed that staying with Betty was not going to work out anymore since Dr. Flint may eventually find her. So she dresses up as a sailor and leaves Betty's house. A gentleman named Peter helps Linda by helping her find her way to Snaky Swamp. Linda stays there for the night but tries very hard to fight for her life since hundreds of snakes lie there. After that night, Linda finds out that a new place to hide is in her grandmother's house. While walking there, she brushes her arm against Mr. Sands and he does not even recognize her. The corrupting power of slavery is shown in this chapter since she has no way to be safe in Betty's house. She has to travel to different places in order to be safe. Finally, she ended up concealed somewhere in grandmother's house. A place that we will know very well in the next chapter.
