Dr. Flint’s daughter. Emily is Linda’s legal owner, as her first mistress bequeaths her to the girl in her will. Although Linda cares for Emily diligently as a child, Emily is determined that she won’t escape slavery; she sends her coercive letters in New York and eventually travels to the city with her husband in a failed attempt to recover her. While she’s a minor character, she seems to have inherited her mother’s vindictive and self-centered nature.
