When her true identity is revealed, the Reverend John trethman is racked with guilt at having shared his home with a young woman and then fallen in love with her. His solution is to 'marry' Josie, performing as both minister and bridegroom. Not long after their wedding, John is kidnapped by British soldiers and forced to minister to their wounded and bury their dead.
