Chapter 18:
Months of Peril
Summary:
In this chapter Linda was still staying at her friends house until people who
were searching for her came in close proximity to her. After that she decided
to hide with a friend of her grandmother. She thereby is sent to stay in an old
storage room. During this time however Linda’s brother, children and aunt were
thrown in jail. Linda begins to worry until William sends her a letter to stay
calm and not to turn herself in. At the conclusion of the chapter, Dr. Flint
leaves for New York under the suspicion that Linda is hiding there.
Importance:
This was important because this was Linda’s first trial while in hiding.
Connection
to Theme:
Although William, Linda’s children and her aunt were all innocent in the fact
that they knew little about her escape, Dr. Flint saw it as an opportunity to
use different tactics; a psychological approach, to drawing her out. He thought
that using her love for her family would get her to throw herself at his feet
(an example of psychological abuse).
