Tom Hynes wakes up and stares at the wallpaper. He thinks back
to the night before and recalls the wedding ceremony. He remembers
getting up in the middle of the night to urinate and finds Captain
Shelby on guard outside his door thinking that Tom is going to leave his
wife. Tom explains and they go outside to urinate together. The Captain
spells his name in the snow and Tom draws a heart.
Shelby offers Tom a job on the Mason and Dixon crew and Tom asks
if Catherine can come along too. Shelby says by that time she'll be
pregnant again.
Chapter 60 begins on page 585. The crew is hard at work,
drawing the line across the Mountains of Wales, and Captain Shelby looks
on approvingly, except that he wishes that Mason and Dixon could add a
few angles along the way to accommodate some of Shelby's friends. Mason
blames the King of England on his requirement to draw the line straight
to the west.
