A child narrator speaks of ghostly fairies living in the chimney. The fire reveals shadowy, smoky beings once roaming fields with gypsy caravans, now wandering within logs and flitting above the flame. The poem concludes as the fairies vanish in a whisper.
In a war torn Mississippi town, Mrs Walton clings to life as her daughters hide boarding soldiers to help survive. Floyd Walton, her son, returns battered by desertion and drink, while cousin Bart Potts and Yankee officers influence the household. A risky plan to escape forms as Floyd’s fate intertwines with Esther’s secret marriage, a looming inquiry, and a dramatic midnight departure attempt.
