ok failed attempts:
-creates a plan to escape but Grandma dissuades her (her plan was to go and hide w/ a friend and wait and see if her children would be sold); when she realizes that the children will be brought to work on the plantation, she tries to execute the plan again
-Linda runs to her neighbor (Sally's) house and asks her to pack all of Linda's clothes.. then Linda runs to her friend's house of concealment; it is a failed attempt, bc Linda can no longer escape to the North due to all of the "searches" (she might get caught!)
- After a week, she goes to her grandma's friends house (a nice white mistress) -- Betty the cook also knows that Linda will be staying in the room above the mistress's aptment (during this time, William, grandma, and the kids are put in jail)
- Uncle Phillip helps Linda go to her grandma's house and live in her grandma's shed (lives here for 7 years--but Peter physically guides her there that night)... and thennnn one day, Peter (friend) asks Linda to come w him bc he can help her escape
-Linda can't leave Ben behind, so says that Fanny can go.. later Ben is about to leave.. Fanny and Linda reunite on the vessel.. next morning= sunshine= FREEDOM!
