Tant’ Sannie goes up into the loft to see what is there, and as she looks down through the trap door, she sees Bonaparte courting Trana.

Bonaparte is soon doused with pickle-water and attacked with a shoulder of mutton, thrown by the angry Tant’ Sannie.

Bonaparte runs to Waldo’s cabin, where Waldo gives him something to eat, listens to the man’s complaints, gives him a hat and some money, and promises to say nothing to Tant’ Sannie. Early the next morning, Bonaparte leaves the farm for good, blessing Waldo.
