[Toby G Levy]

        Eliza and Zhang come upon a group of Indians and among them is
the royal agent for Indian affairs, Sir William Johnson.  The people
switch between English and three Indian languages as they speak.  Zhang
gives Sir William a handshake that puts him more at ease, and Sir
William asks about Eliza, who he takes to be a boy since she is dressed
in male clothes.  As soon as she speaks one word he realizes she is a
girl. She gives her full name at long last: "I am Eliza Fields of
Conestoga."

        Sir William arranges for them to safely get to Delaware.
During the trip, staying over in a barn in New Jersey, Eliza and Zhang
become intimate.  Ethelmer suggests that he could skip over the sex, but
Tenebrae tells him to read on.  But there is no sex since Zhang has his
code of honor.

        They arrive at the west line and decide to follow the cleared
area west. Soon they catch up to the crew and are greeted by the
workers in the commissary, led by Nathe's brother Moses McClean.

Are we out of Ethelmer's reading of the Fop and back to Wicks'
narrative?
