Miri is spooked by the soldiers around the castle. Sister Dominique quietly tells her that the other side of the river (which the castle spans) is the Vichy border.

Miri is shocked when Sister Dominique calls her Miri instead of Marie and instructs her to pay closer attention.

Miri looks at the castle spanning the river. She is rejoined by Beatrice, who continues telling her about the historical figures of King Henri, his wife, and his mistress. Miri sees the prim, old-fashioned woman again, this time walking around the gardens. She wonders who she is.

That night, Miri wakes up from a nightmare about the raiding of the Pletzl. Beatrice is watching her.
