Polly Primrose is dusting and sees a group of Union troops passing by the window. She wishes she could join them and have some excitement, but instead must stay and dust. A man named Bijah Bright appears and recognizes Polly, trying to embrace her. She steps aside and tells him not to be so sure of her affection, as she has other suitors. Bijah becomes jealous and says he will find and confront the other man, to which Polly suggests that he join the army to get away from his troubles. Bijah says he will join and come back for her when he becomes a hero.
