In 1915 Kate Douglas Wiggin narrates Waitstill Baxter's hardship and family rifts. Rivals include a vengeful father and a loyal son Rodman as they endure cold days, sparse meals, and a pursuit of gum mining profits while Aunt Boynton heals.
Sentry Boynton returns from the woods in mid afternoon and spots Rodman leaning over the fence awaiting his homecoming, his heart warmed by the familiar boyish welcome as a sleigh passes toward the highroad.
Rod and Tyery discuss Patty marrying Mark Wilson and Patty being sent away from home. Wattstill remains alone with Deacon Baxter, as Patty awaits a plan to aid her and maintain secrecy. Rod volunteers to help despite his youth, while Ivory and the decrees weigh on their resolve.
Ivory and Rodman plan covert moves around Baxter’s goods and the Mills as Wait, Patty, and Walatiil weave through home life. The scene follows quiet chores, a looming wedding, and the resolve of Ivory to marry Rodman once she finds work, with a tense glow of danger and hope.
The narrative follows Waitsut climbing toward Saco Mill and toward a hoped reunion with Ivory at the Boynton farm. She awakens buoyant with new freedom and certainty, imagining a future with Ivory despite fear, while Ivory appears at home, ready to meet her, as their hearts have long drawn them together.
