About this book

The Kentons are described as fairly well-to-do smock-frock farmers, with the account comparing their domestic comfort to that available below the ranks of the country gentry. The supper scene has Patience pouring broth thickened with meal from a cauldron into a red crock lined with yellow glazing. Jeph says that he wishes he were one of the red coats, while his father replies that he would soon wish himself back.

Emlyn is described as a fiery little Royalist, used to being petted and to fascinating everyone through her saucy audacity. Stead tells Emlyn that he will never be whole again, while Emlyn rejects Master Willis's opinion and speaks of physicians who would cure him.
