A Night at Leraysville Hermitage Ends in Wild Hornet Defense
In an Albany retreat scene the baroness and guests host a lavish meal as danger looms. Dri and Captain Bell devise a clever defense using hornets to drive off pursuing British troops. After a tense dawn stand, prisoners are captured and the party escapes, with Louison gifting Bell a emerald token before farewells.
Escape at the garrison amid a hornet threat
The narrator orders an armed guard and a convoy to the garrison after a disturbance in the big house. Four British captives are stripped of their boots, a warning image of pursuit lingers with the hornet noise as Louison and a composed baroness appear during breakfast with the baroness, the count, the general, and Mr Parish.

The farmer retorts with quiet wit about knowing half as much as Carleton.
