Saturday, June 8—Friday, June 21, 1776
- As promised, Lockton uses his Get Out of Jail Free Card and returns home to find Madam packing to flee to Charleston. They have a giant smack down of a fight that involves various household objects being flung across the bedroom.
- Lockton continues to have his Loyalist buddies visit over the next several days and asks Isabel to serve them drinks. As a result, she gathers a lot of information about the fallout from Lockton's arrest. She learns that one of Lockton's friends fled the city and is suspected of giving away their secret to Bellingham; Isabel is relieved to know that she is not under any suspicion.
- Disappointed that no one has freed her yet, Isabel tries to make the best of her and Ruth's situation. She tidies up the corner of the cellar where they sleep, makes Ruth a doll out of cornhusks to replace the one she had to leave behind in Rhode Island, and plants her mother's seeds.
