Douglass runs away into the woods away from Mr. Covey. He meets a man named Sandy Jenkins who was also a slave. Sandy Jenkins gives Douglass a root to take with him so that Mr. Covey does not whip him again.
Get back here! I'll give you a good whipping! And then you will learn your lesson!
Mr. Covey tries to tie up Douglass with a rope and whip him, but Douglass fights back and gets a hold of Mr. Covey. Douglass and covey were at the fight for nearly 2 hours. Mr. Covey asks for help from Hugh, but Hugh got knocked down. He also asks Bill for help, but Bill refuses.
No, I will not help. You only hired me to work, not to aid you in this type of situation. Deal with it, it's your fight not mine.
UGGGHHH!!!
You deserve this! I will not let you go! Arrrggghhh!!! Covey, I will not tolerate being treated as a slave, even if in fact I am one!
Nooooo! Leave me alone! Hey Bill help! Take hold of him! Douglass is chocking me! This is unlawful Douglass!
Douglass is happy and feels like he is free, and Mr. Covey will never lay his hands on Douglass or try to whip him. Douglass believes that this is a turning point in his career as a slave. Douglass says that Mr. Covey would come off worse than he did before in the fight.
That's right, because you will come off worse than you did before in the fight.
I don't want to get hold of you again. You can keep doing your work.
