Across
  1. 1. Linda’s other uncle, instrumental in her escape
  2. 4. A southerner visiting Brooklyn who betrays Linda’s whereabouts to Dr. Flint. Like Mrs. Hobbs, Mr. Thorne signals that a fugitive slave can never feel safe again.
  3. 8. Linda’s maternal grandmother and chief ally.
  4. 9. Linda’s brother, to whom she is close.
  5. 10. Linda’s beloved uncle, a slave who defies and beats his master and then runs away.
  6. 12. Linda’s white lover and the father of her children.
  7. 14. The book’s protagonist and a pseudonym for the author.
  8. 16. Dr. Flint’s daughter and Linda’s legal “owner.”
  9. 17. An old slave woman who tells Aunt Martha to rejoice that William has run away.
Down
  1. 1. A family friend who helps Linda escape.
  2. 2. Dr. Flint’s son. Nicholas is essentially a carbon copy of his father, with the same lecherous tendencies toward his female slaves that Dr. Flint has.
  3. 3. Linda’s mistress and Dr. Flint’s jealous wife.
  4. 5. Linda’s maternal aunt and Mrs. Flint’s slave.
  5. 6. Mr. Sands’s New York cousin, to whom he “gives” Ellen.
  6. 7. Linda’s master, enemy, and would-be lover.
  7. 11. Emily Flint’s husband, who seeks to recapture Linda after Dr. Flint dies. Although Mr. Dodge is northern by birth, entering southern society has made him feel as floundering and desensitized as any native-born slave holder.
  8. 13. A family friend who lives with Aunt Martha and helps Linda escape into hiding.
  9. 15. A slave in the household of the white benefactress.
