In a staged night scene Bonaparte and Tant Sande question Waldo about peaches eaten in a loft. Bonaparte demands confession, offering milder chastisement if he speaks. Waldo remains silent as the drama unfolds, hinting at mischief and a looming solitary confinement to prompt reflection.
Waldo endures brutal punishment at the hands of Bonaparte Blenkins in a brutal episode set in a Boer republic. The scene unfolds with confinement in a fuel house, a rope and whip, and a night of fear, pain, and prayer as the boy confronts violence, authority, and a grim struggle for survival.
In a colonial scene Sant Sannta orders a maid to fetch a ladder so she can inspect an unused loft above the sitting room. A trapdoor is left open as the Hottentot servant teases, while the Boer mistress climbs with danger and mischief, and the scene hints at hidden provisions and gossip.
