Banford and March live and work together on their meagre farm, surviving hardship only by sheer determination and dedicated labour. The farm is their world, a place of safety; that is until a young soldier walks in and upsets the women's status quo. None could have predicted the effect his presence would have on their lives.
Henry is alarmed by the letter from March, and returns to the farm.
Banford is maintaining her opposition to the marriage between March and Henry.
Henry's proposal of marriage to March has angered Banford.
