Interestingly, we find the weak double-minded
Benjamin Folger physically fighting inside his
mansion home on the banks of the Hudson River. As
the physical fight continues between Benjamin and the
notorious Prophet Matthias, we discover that Isabella
Van Wagener (Sojourner-Truth) physically intervenes
by grabbing Benjamin's arms. She declares that as she
held Benjamin firmly against the parlor door, he was,
quote. 'Exhausted' and he 'shook like a leaf and
stared wild.'
Acting like a gentleman and unwilling to break his
Christian code of conduct, Benjamin does not fight or
struggle with Sojourner-Truth.
Taking advantage of Benjamin's position, Matthias
runs out of the parlor and into his bedroom, where he
finds his two-edged sword.
