Mason is going to school now. She goes to prayer meetings every Friday night and there are only nine or ten men now. Bill Stewart takes the girls home one by one while the rest wait inside. She hopes Wilmor will visit before running off with "that pretty English girl" or bring the girl with him. She wishes she could "peep in" and see how he is doing in his camp.
