The narrator, a prisoner of war, details a nearly square cell with heavy oak door and iron barred windows. Peter Swanson, a calm, costumed caretaker, serves meals and wines while the narrator probes for the man’s background and possible loyalties.
The narrator, captured and held at Elmhurst, questions his guard Peter about his captivity and the secret loyalties of the station. Peter remains calm and evasive as a patrol of British troops appears down the driveway, signaling a potential escape or rescue.
Grant and a retinue of Queen's Rangers and Hessians arrive exhausted at Elmhurst after a night in the rebel lines.

The scene ends with ambiguity about identity and orders as the visit unfolds.
