        Mason and Dixon work through the summer, crossing rivers, creeks
and roads. The old paranoia sets in a gain and Dixon is convinced that
they shouldn't have take the job, but he assures Mason he will finish
it.

        Mason takes the paranoia and intensifies it. He thinks that
perhaps Maskelyne is a French spy, using their observations and
calculations to feed into a decoder and extract a secret message from
ancient times.

        Dixon says he prefers his conspiracies to be motivated by trade.

        They end their discussion with magnificent punning of the words
sari and sarong.

        Armand is upset because Luise has returned to her husband's
farm.  The line is moving in the direction of the farm. Peter Redzinger
has returned to the farm and has been working it since winter ended.
When Peter sees Luise, he harbors no jealous suspicions. He is saddened
because he feels that Jesus has left him.  He said when he left, Peter
could see the back of his robe for the first time and there was a
message on it in German, a message he couldn't read.

        Luise is torn between Armand and Peter.
