Tom and the Man of the Hill climb Mazard Hill at dawn. They hear a woman screaming and Tom slides down the hill to investigate. He finds a man forcing a woman, who is half naked, against a tree. Tom knocks the man out with his stick and beats him until the woman begs him to stop. On her knees, she thanks him profusely. He lifts her up, expressing joy that he was able to save her from the terrible situation. She likens him to an angel. Even though the woman is middle- aged and not possessed of a beautiful face, her voluptuous and very white breasts attract Tom's attention. The two spend a couple of moments staring at each other until the attacker on the ground begins to move. Tom now realizes that this man is Northerton, a low-ranking soldier with whom Tom joined the army. Tom bids the Man of the Hill farewell and carries the woman to Upton. He offers the woman his coat but she refuses to accept it.
