A fragmentary poem describes a traveler returning through a valley at dusk. The speaker notes a cold weary mood and fear of shadows as the sunset fades. The scene shifts to a lonely valley with a distant village flickering beneath a fading pink and gold sky.
An officer recalls a night escape from Confederate pursuit, with Melloden deserting to flee a skirmish. The group maneuvers along Tennessee river towns, crosses the Hiwassee, and hides in a cave as Plunk counsels cautious retreat. Melloden is recovered but later remains untrustworthy, while Margaret guides the group toward safety and a rural disguise.
The narrator describes dismounting, leaving horses with Melloden, and taking shelter in a natural cave. They light a fire, assign a corner to Margaret, and improvise a horse inclosure while watching the railroad. Plunk joins in gathering wood as they prepare to observe from their concealed position.
A collage of humor dialogue about loans and jilting lovers, witty quotes from period columns, a short dramatic exchange about a man who married for money, a budget note on a wife’s disappointment, and a product plug for Dr. Thomas Electric Oil.
