In a dark riverfront hut a narrator who is an escaped prisoner overpowers a sentry. He seizes a revolver and coerces the lieutenant to order his men away, then drives twenty horses to flee along the ford while planning to seize more gear before escaping by horse.
In a desperate night ride the narrator evades a vengeful pursuer, bungled by a split from Bungay. After a brutal collision and a rough fall, Bungay survives with injuries as they press toward Federal lines, trading grim quips and resolve to reach safety by dawn.
A Civil War narrator wakes to orders of a forced march with Colgate urging readiness as McDaniel's division moves ahead and Longstreet crosses the White Briar. The troop forms, a dusty column heads north, and Jed the mule herd rider jokes about home as dawn brings anticipation of battle and memory of past losses. Bungay recites Scott by a campfire under a moonlit bivouac.
The narrator recalls a dawn assault in the Shenandoah Valley. Fog lifts to reveal opposing lines and fires as infantry surge uphill. Casualties mount while artillery and a courageous defense test endurance and discipline amid rising blue Federal assaults.
A London Truth remark notes that English opinions vary on who qualifies as a gentleman. The joke claims that no man can be a true gentleman unless he has a remote ancestor who robbed the country, reflecting scolding humor about class and heritage.
