The disguise, the baby, and a hurried departure across the river set the stage for a parting in a Confederate‑ruled area. Colonel Maynard bids farewell to his wife and child with a brief, poignant exchange.

A horse and buggy arrives in the gateway through the rain and Miss Bayes is spotted entering from the north.

It contrasts longing to protect family with marching orders to move toward Chickamauga. Also a vignette on Louis Commlessy riding with four children on a single wheel and reflections on daughters' ties to mothers across nations.
