For Eoin’s upcoming birthday, Annie writes a story about a boat on Lough Gill that transports a little boy to other times and places. When Thomas checks Annie’s wounds, he sees that she is wearing pants. For Annie, the pants are a way to fight against the era’s corsets and skirts, but this clothing also connects her to Irish Revolutionary figure Countess Markievicz, legendary for wearing men’s clothing. Annie is attracted to Thomas, who has a magnetic aura. They stay up late into the night creating Eoin’s birthday book, with Thomas illustrating Annie’s words.
During Mass, the priest announces Anne’s return to dissuade further questions or gossip.
Thomas’s diary records the return of Anne Gallagher. He finds her similar yet completely different. He worries that Anne will disappear again, this time with Eoin.
Thomas became a doctor because as a child he suffered from a mysterious illness, which Annie quickly diagnoses as asthma. Thomas and Annie discuss the upcoming truce between Eamon de Valera and Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England. Thomas confesses that he finds Anne changed, that she is no longer Declan’s Anne. When she asks if he was in love with her, Thomas answers that she was always Declan’s and that she had a fire about her that he didn’t want to be burned by.
