troops that I meet up with,

I'm gonna ask them if they'll

post a guard around the school.

They do that sometimes for

friendly Southerners.

I don't understand what do

you mean, meet up with?

I mean that tomorrow morning

at dawn I'll be leaving.

I'll see that he doesn't

forget to do that good turn.

I'm leaving with him.

We're going to be married.

That's right.

- She asked me and I said yes.

- No, I didn't.

Congratulations to you both.

But have you forgotten

you're a partner here?

No.

And I'll be grateful

to you all my life.

But I love him.

I have to go with him.

It's only natural, but supposing

you do meet the soldiers.

Whether they are Confederate or Union,

he won't be able to protect you.

What will happen to you?

I've lived with the

war for a long time.

It doesn't frighten me.

I'm afraid we're spoiling

everybody's supper.

And Amy picked these

mushrooms especially for me.

Edwina, will you have some? And

pass it on to the other girls.

Lizzie?

No, Edwina! Don't...

Oh, my God!

Girls, finish your meals.

Lizzie, that is not the

stitch I showed you.

Watch how Doris does it.

See, Lizzie.

You run the needle

through both sides...

then lock the stitch underneath.

Like this.

That's the way I did it.

No, it's not. Try it again.

Doesn't look as if

he suffered much.

I'm sure he didn't, Carol.

I think probably his

heart just gave out.

He was in a very

weakened condition.

I love you.

- But I thought the mushrooms killed him.

- Oh, Lizzie.

You think I can't tell bad

mushrooms from good ones?

And Mr. McB said himself

how delicious they were.

Lizzie, Amy, open the gates.

Come all you pretty fair maids

Come walk in the sun

Do we have classes

today, Miss Martha?

I don't see why not.

ever carry a gun

Come all you young fellows

Take warning by me

Don't go for a soldier

Don't join no army

For the dove she will leave you

The raven will come

And death will come marching

At the beat of the drum
