Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Chapter 21 Summary

The Loophole of Retreat

• Home sweet home is a tiny crawlspace above Aunt Martha’s shed.
• And we mean tiny. It's seven by nine feet, about three feet high, and only has room for a tiny bed.
• But it has plenty of room for rats and mice, not to mention little bitey red ants.
• At least Uncle Phillip has built a trap door to the crawlspace so Aunt Martha can send up food.
• Meanwhile, Dr. Flint heads back to New York to find Linda.
